Did Human Heads & Conciousness Survive the fate of the Guillotine?

Ok... So I read somewhere that in the ancient past, when the Guillotine was used to execute somebody, that sometimes, the human head would still speak or blink...

From Wikipedia:

"From its first use, there has been debate as to whether the guillotine always provided a swift death as Guillotin had hoped. With previous methods of execution intended to be painful, there was little concern about the suffering inflicted. As the guillotine was invented specifically to be humane, however, the issue was seriously considered. Furthermore, there is the possibility that the very swiftness of the guillotine only prolonged the victim's suffering.[original research?] The blade cuts quickly enough so that there is relatively little impact on the brain case, and perhaps less likelihood of immediate unconsciousness than with a more violent decapitation, or long-drop hanging.

Audiences to guillotinings told numerous stories of blinking eyelids, speaking, moving eyes, movement of the mouth, even an expression of "unequivocal indignation" on the face of the decapitated Charlotte Corday when her cheek was slapped."



Check out this video of a crocodile's head:

I think this was a pretty common occurrence, like the head still blinking but i'm not sure about a head still being able to speak.

I think it happened.

What do you guys think?

The crocodile video is creepy.
