Mike, the Headless Chicken and Koopa the Turtle Artist



 Mike, the Headless Chicken

Farmer Lloyd Olsen chopped of 5 1/2 month-old Mike's head with an ax in readiness for the cooking pot, but the headless rooster continued pecking for food around the farm at Fruita, Colorado.
He was spared and was fed grain and water with an eyedropper.








Koopa, the Turtle Artist

Koopa, the turtle, owned by US artist Kira Varszegi, has sold more than 100 pieces of his own artwork.  He creates the paintings by covering his underbelly in paint and sliding around on a canvas.  The works usually sell for around $135 a piece.
