This video is for those innocent kids who were bullied in school and wanted to protect themselves. This is more powerful than TASER and 50 times more deadly than a nuclear bomb! ( Seriously, I mean no offense to anyone and it's not offensive and racist and just don't blame me if u suffered from Nonsense Ento Retarded Disease after watching this video...)

Mike the headless chicken
The Amazing, true story of this famous fowl dates back to September 10, 1945 when Mike, a young Wyandotte rooster, was about to become the dinner of Fruita, Colorado, farmer Lloyd Olsen.
With a sharp ax in hand, Mr. Olsen firmly held Mike, preparing to make the bird ready for his wife Clara's cooking pot. Mr. Olsen swung the implement, thereby lopping off poor Mike's head. Mike shook off the event, then continued trying to peck for food.
Mike's will to live remains an inspiration. It is a great comfort to know you can live a normal life, even after you have lost your mind.
Thanks, Mike!
September 10th, 1945 finds a strapping (but tender) five and a half month old Wyandotte rooster pecking through the dust of Fruita, Colorado. The unsuspecting bird had never looked so delicious as he did that, now famous, day. Clara Olsen was planning on featuring the plump chicken in the evening meal. Husband Lloyd Olsen was sent out, on a very routine mission, to prepare the designated fryer for the pan. Nothing about this task turned out to be routine. Lloyd knew his Mother in Law would be dining with them and would savor the neck. He positioned his ax precisely, estimating just the right tolerances, to leave a generous neck bone.
"It was as important to Suck-Up to your Mother in Law in the 40's as it is today." A skillful blow was executed and the chicken staggered around like most freshly terminated poultry.
Then the determined bird shook off the traumatic event and never looked back. Mike (it is unclear when the famous rooster took on the name) returned to his job of being a chicken. He pecked for food and preened his feathers just like the rest of his barnyard buddies.
When Olsen found Mike the next morning, sleeping with his "head" under his wing, he decided that if Mike had that much will to live, he would figure out a way to feed and water him. With an eyedropper Mike was given grain and water. It was becoming obvious that Mike was special. A week into Mike's new life Olsen packed him up and took him 250 miles to the University of Utah in Salt Lake City . The skeptical scientists were eager to answer all the questions regarding Mike's amazing ability to survive with no head. It was determined that ax blade had missed the jugular vein and a clot had prevented Mike from bleeding to death. Although most of his head was in a jar, most of his brain stem and one ear was left on his body. Since most of a chicken's reflex actions are controlled by the brain stem Mike was able to remain quite healthy.
In the 18 MONTHS that Mike lived as "The Headless Wonder Chicken" he grew from a mere 2 1/2 lbs. to nearly 8 lbs. In a Gayle Meyer interview Olsen said Mike was a "robust chicken - a fine specimen of a chicken except for not having a head." Some longtime Fruita residents, gathered at the Monument Cafe for coffee, also remember Mike - "he was a big fat chicken who didn't know he didn't have a head" - "he seemed as happy as any other chicken." Mike's excellent state of health made it difficult for animal-rights activists to garner much of a following. Even now the town of Fruita celebrates Mike's impressive will to live, not the nature of his handicap.
Miracle Mike took on a manager, and with the Olsens in tow, set out on a national tour. Curious sideshow patrons in New York , Atlantic City , Los Angeles , and San Diego lined up to pay 25 cents to see Mike. The "Wonder Chicken" was valued at $10,000.00 and insured for the same. His fame and fortune would earn him recognition in Life and Time Magazines. It goes without saying there was a Guinness World Record in all this. While returning from one of these road trips the Olsens stopped at a motel in the Arizona desert. In the middle of the night Mike began to choke. Unable to find the eyedropper used to clear Mike's open esophagus Miracle Mike passed on.
Now, Mike's spirit is celebrated the third weekend in May.

HCIBS
Hwa Chong Institution Boarding School (HCIBS), consist of 7 six-storey Halls of Residence (Halls A-G), providing accommodation for 1,000 boarders and 56 cluster mentors.
Each level of every hall consists of two clusters, where a cluster mentor acts as parent to a group of 18-24 boarders. Each cluster has 3 four-bedded rooms and 3 two-bedded rooms. The creation of the clusters provides various levels of "community", starting from communication between individual boarders, to cluster of boarders and their hall mates, and to the entire boarding population of the Hall. Communal facilities within each cluster include lift access on every level, air-conditioned study room, shower and rest rooms as well as a pantry.
The circular block located next to the curved block offers a multi-purpose and a dining hall. The V-shape courtyard between the curved block and the straight block enclosed a recreation centre and a festive garden with a koi pond for boarders to gather and to have social functions. A small amphitheatre and BBQ pits are included in the garden, offering an open area for the boarders to organise activities.
The boarders share a variety of facilities like a music room, a computer room, a fitness centre, laundry facilities and a convenience store. All boarders may also make use of the recreational facilities within Hwa CHong Institution. These include an Olympic-sized swimming pool, gymnasium, running track, tennis, basketball, squash and badminton courts.
Access to the residential blocks and rooms is managed by a smart card system. A team of full-time security professionals maintain round-the-clock security of the boarding complex.

Sabbaticals
A unique feature of the Hwa Chong Integrated Programme, Hwa Chong Sabbatical Programme allows students from Sec. 1 to Sec. 4 to go on sabbatical courses for one week, from Term 1 to Term 3. The school organizes Sabbaticals with the aim of creating space for students to develop passion for what they do. During Sabbaticals, formal lessons are replaced by enrichment programmes.
There are six areas of programmes for students to select from each term: Aesthetics Programme, China Programme, Entrepreneurship Programme, Leadership Programme, Research Programme, Technology Programme. All students are engaged in activities outside the classroom during term time to further broaden their educational experience. This allows them to explore their diverse interests and have fun all at once.

Geography
The approach to Geography teaching and learning in Hwa Chong, whether in the Mainstream or under the Humanities Scheme, has all along been actively field-oriented. This is in line with the syllabus and examination requirements as well as to bring home the practical relevance of the discipline to students. Local field studies and overseas field trips are conducted each year in connection with topics covered during the course. Currently, the Geography students and staff are embarking on intense application of the College multimedia facilities, both for classroom teaching and interactive learning, as well as project work, newsletter publication and web page maintenance.
Economics
The Economics Unit in Hwa Chong comprises a team of dynamic professionals dedicated to the teaching of Economics as a life subject. Economics is not just a collection of facts but a unified approach to thinking about the world. The theory of Economics is an apparatus of the mind or a technique of thinking which helps us make rational decisions. With these requirements in mind, the Economics Unit provides a rigorous course to equip students with the skills necessary for economics awareness and competence. This course imparts both intellectual as well as citizenship training through a well-planned syllabus to promote understanding of the very processes and issues that affect their lives as citizens and students. In addition, Net2Work Society was set up to expose students to a range of enriching experiences such as participation in nation-wide competitions, publication of newsletters and trips to overseas universities for summer programmes. The greatest reward of this course is a better understanding of how the world works.
Mathematics and Science
The Hwa Chong Integrated Programme for Science is implemented across 6 years. Our integrated framework provides a dynamic learning environment for students with an aptitude and interest in Mathematics and Science. Special emphasis is placed on the mastery of fundamental knowledge and experimental skills. Our plan is to further integrate the Mathematics and Science disciplines to foster an appreciation of how they work together and form a whole.
In a tripartite collaboration with A*STAR and NTU, Hwa Chong also offers research electives based on the H3 module to encourage new and independent modes of learning and exploration. Each JC student is matched with a mentor depending on interest, and engages in collaborative research with leading scientists and researchers working on real-world scientific problems. The aim of our Science programme is to broaden students' interests in Science by providing a stimulating environment that will enrich their basic Science training. Besides exposure to major advances in the life sciences and new technologies, students will be trained to think critically and independently.
