Head chopping

sobriqueSomeone at work has just raised an interesting question.
If you're head's chopped off, you lose blood supply to the brain. And so the lights will go out _pretty quick_.
But apparantly 'pretty quick' means about 8 seconds.
So what'd be your last thoughts at your head getting separated from your body by really sharp cutting things.
Would you be feeling detached?
Or would you be thinking 'oh fuck, you bastards, you chopped my head off, and I'd swear at you, but my lungs and voice box are over there on the floor'.
I think in the interests of science, we need a volunteer for head-chopping, so we can hold a seance and ask them what it was like.
