The other day, you could just clip your fingernails and hair, animate them

Why no one reads? Toady clearly said these kind of body parts cannot be animated. Hand, sure. Single toe - not.

What I've been pondering since I heard about animating body parts is how they will move? I understand that a severed arm can squirm and grab, but a severed head couldn't even roll itself around.

...Actually, Bronze Collossi missing random body parts but still functional and travelling in groups would be cool.
Picture your fort simultaniously attacked by: A torso with a head and left arm; A left arm; A head; and a headless, one-legged collosus.
