Seriously, your article reminded me of an article I read on the net
some time ago.  Someone talked of a french scientist who, when he
was sentenced to the guillotine, arranged to have one of his students
standing by, to time how long he was able to blink, and thus to determine
how long consciousness would last once your head was struck from your
body.

Would the original author, or any other knowledgable soul fill us in:
who was the scientist?  how long *did* he maintain consciousness?
