Lloyd Olsen's Axe & the Skull of Mike the Headless Chicken

These two artifacts are an axe from the 1940s and a chicken skull. The skull, the head of Mike the Headless Chicken allows the user to negate the effects of pain and injuries. Holding the axe, once owned by Lloyd Olsen, the man that cut of Mike's head, neutralizes the effects of Mike's head.

Origin
On September 10, 1945, farmer Lloyd Olsen of Fruita, Colorado, United States, had his mother-in-law around for supper and was sent out to the yard by his wife to bring back a chicken. Olsen chose a five-and-a-half-month-old cockerel named Mike. The axe missed the jugular vein, leaving one ear and most of the brain stem intact.

Despite Olsen's botched handiwork, Mike was still able to balance on a perch and walk clumsily; he even attempted to preen and crow, although he could do neither. When the bird did not die, a surprised Mr. Olsen decided to continue to care permanently for Mike, feeding him a mixture of milk and water via an eyedropper; he was also fed small grains of corn. It is not recorded what was eaten for supper that night.

When used to his new and unusual center of mass, Mike could easily get himself to the highest perches without falling. His crowing, though, was less impressive and consisted of a gurgling sound made in his throat, leaving him unable to crow at dawn. Mike also spent his time preening and attempting to peck for food with his neck.

Today
While on vaction in New York, Brady visited the Coney Island sideshows. One of the acts he saw was a man that was shot, hit with a hammer in the private parts, burnt, punched, kicked, basiclly beat to near death. After the show, Brady went backstage, asking the man what was causing this. He showed Brady a box of items that he wore in his act. One item was a small chicken skull on a necklace. Knowing the story of Mike the chicken, Brady took the skull, and brought it with him after his vaction. It was placed with Lloyd Olsen's Axe, which was found also at the sideshow. They now reside in The Side Show.
