In recent years, I find myself constantly reminded of this story I remember reading about. Cannot for the life of me remember which book it was, but it went something like this:


There was once a two-headed bird; the long-necked head searched for food high above, while the short-necked head scavenged for food on the ground. One day, the two heads had an argument and, to spite long-neck, short-neck ate a poisonous root, declaring that "now your insides will burn!"
Unfortunately, the stupid head forgot that they both shared the same stomach, and...dead-fall-thud. The end :P
