The Monty Python Black Death gag above brought to mind a fun fact. Some years ago genetics researchers were studying the genome of the common fruit fly, Drosophila Melanogaster. It has a small genome that simplifies pinpointing which gene controls which identifiable trait. High temperatures will kill the flies, but some individuals could stand heat that killed most of their cousins. When they pinpointed the gene that conferred this resistance trait they named it "INDY" as in I'm Not Dead Yet.

I was trying to find a video about how to cure your zombie condition. But then I found this and got sidetracked. Sorry.
Chicken-powered nuclear bomb
A technical problem is that during winter, the temperature of buried devices can drop quickly, creating a possibility that the mechanisms of the mine will cease working due to low temperatures in the winter. Various methods were studied to solve this problem, such as wrapping the bombs in insulating blankets.
One proposal suggested that live chickens would be sealed inside the casing, with a supply of food and water. They would remain alive for approximately a week. Their body heat would apparently have been sufficient to keep the mine's components at a working temperature. This proposal was sufficiently outlandish that it was taken as an April Fool's Day joke when the Blue Peacock file was declassified on 1 April 2004. Tom O'Leary, head of education and interpretation at the National Archives, replied to the media that, "It does seem like an April Fool but it most certainly is not. The Civil Service does not do jokes."

Schrodinger's Chicken save for you don't have to open the box to discover the condition of the chicken. A somewhat demonstrative example of I'm Not Dead Yet.
