2) You can have an erection once dead

Back when they still had public hangings, it was not uncommon for hanged criminals to sport an erection after death. Crowds of onlookers reportedly found this to be highly amusing.

8) It’s OK to have a third nipple

It wasn't OK for Anne Boleyn. Her third nipple was used against her at her trial as proof that she was a witch.

Did no one here read Waiting for Godot?

ESTRAGON: What about hanging ourselves?
VLADIMIR: Hmm. It'd give us an erection.
ESTRAGON: (highly excited). An erection!
VLADIMIR: With all that follows. Where it falls mandrakes grow. That's why they shriek when you pull them up. Did you not know that?
ESTRAGON: Let's hang ourselves immediately!

When death occurs vertically, blood pools in the lower body, including the penis.

What exactly could one get a chicken to do under hypnosis?

The Amazing Raveen:"As I count backwards from ten you will awake refreshed and believe you are a chicken...."

They don't do a whole lot even when they're not hypnotized.

I've seen (on TV) someone hypnotize a lobster.

Was the lobster hypnotized into thinking it was a chicken?
