Yes, and the question has to be very carefully qualified and explained- I am not referring to stunts by Houdini and other escape artists or magicians. a young woman named Barbara Jean Mackle- of Florida, as I recall, was abducted by an obviously kooky type. she was placed in a modified coffin that had ventilation devices and something akin to siphons or vents- also some food supplies- the abudctor did not intend to kill his victim. The incident occured in Florida and the warm climate may have aided her survival- whether she was externally rescued or escaped at this writing I am not sure- culprit was caught and imprisoned. A TV movie was done on this sordid subject. As this came out after the fact, there was little suspense as it was known Miss Mackle was alive. Apart from various forms of Escape and Magic stunts- that is the only one I know of and the abductor did not INTEND to kill his victim, merely keep her in reserve- and quiet until he got his ransom money. (This was before cell phones- a grim thought).

Is food alive?

All food was alive at one point, whether it's meat from a cow or some strawberries from the ground. Food is like flowers, it is alive until some picks it, then it dies, but not strait away, when the food goes bad is when the food "dies".


Why is it unlikely for the remains of a dead organism to be fossilized?

For remains to become fossils, they typically need to be buried quickly in sediment before decomposition occurs. Factors such as scavenging, erosion, and environmental conditions can disrupt the preservation process, making fossilization unlikely for many organisms.


Has anyone ever survived a decapitation?

Yes. There are two types of decapitation, one can be survived, one not. Medical decapitation is just the separation of the spine from the head, which is very painful, and will most likely result in death, but has been treated successfully. The other type, the one you are thinking of, is a funny circumstance. Scientific evidence gathered in the French Revolution, where else, found that the head survives for a surprisingly long period of time. They were known to show expressions of fear, surprise, anger, and, on one memorable occasion, try to speak. (The story goes that the researcher grabbed the head an said "Did it hurt?" The answer was "Yes.") Recent accounts have the head living for as long as thirty seconds in certain circumstances, though this is always though the testimony of people close to the cause of the trauma, meaning unreliable sources. In old U.S.S.R experiments, a dog's head was kept alive for a substantial period, separated from its body, hooked up to IVs, you can find the video online, but this was under controlled conditions. Lastly, a chicken once survived for several years after decapitation, because the chopper narrowly missed the hind brain, leaving it with basic autonomous functions. They fed it by putting food down it's esophagus through the hole they kept open at the top of the throat. That is different, however, because it is the body surviving without the mind, rather than the other way around. Anyhoo. All human decapitations ended with death, but most are alive long enough to feel the drop on the other side of the chopping block, and even mouth a few swears at the audience before popping off. This is a major reason that decapitation is no longer considered a humane way of implementing the death penalty. Cheers! +++ Very cheerful... The head will die fairly quickly because it is no longer being supplied with oxygen, though not so quickyl it would not feel terrible pain and the muscles may twitch for a time. The story from the French Revolution of a victim replying "Yes" is purely apocryphal because although the head may have mouthed the word "Oui", through the agony, it cannot have enunciated the word out loud as there were no longer lungs to drive the voice, and the throat would have been smashed to pieces anyway. What a horrible topic!

Can anyone give you a spell that can turn humans into vampires?

Magic spells are not real and vampires are not real. Think about it. How could something dead walk around and drink blood? People can not turn into other things. The vampire myths come from a time in history when people were buried alive by accident and when dug up for some reason this showed that they had been alive when buried.

Buried Alive you surely once was Unburied you died Should've been a 'Parrot' Then that horse wouldn't have done what it did to you What was you?

The answer to the riddle is "a seed." As a seed, it was buried alive in the ground before growing into a plant and dying. If it had been a "parrot" (speaking and warning about the danger), the horse wouldn't have trampled it.
