Gotta agree with that. I read an article about the issue few years back, where an doctor or scientist of some sort was present on guillotine executions to observe the decapitated heads and he found out that the victim's eyes and mouth/tongue, in some cases, could move as long as 10 seconds after the decapitation. Is it reflex or conscious movement, I don't know but it's a scary thought.
