Your brain will function as long as it has blood circulating in it. So if you have your head chopped off you only have a few seconds, I've read that you can actually see while your head is rolling off.

If the head is chopped off the person or animal is brain dead.

Perhaps 20 seconds at the most. Unconsciousness and death will occur quite rapidly because oxygenated blood can no longer circulate through the brain. (That's assuming the trauma of decapitation wasn't sufficient enough to induce unconsciousness and death in the first instance.)
However, brain death may take much, much longer.

interesting question. I don't know. I know if a chicken looses it's head it will run around the yard for a while, but it's only a reflex. I think it's brain dead when detached though.

assuming it ever thought before it was hacked off. About 3 minutes and 20 seconds.

About two minutes.
I read somewhere about someone who was to be guillotined to keep blinking and see how long they kept doing it for. Could be B/S though.

brain can still function because of brain cells. maybe you're asking if you can still run away with your feet. see a live chicken beheaded. the chicken can still fly away.
