Yeah. It is not particularly pleasant. They tend to flap like crazy while the knife is going through the head and you can get a "squishy" noise with a burst of liquid coming out. They also do continue to move for a while.
No one else in my family will be in the kitchen with me when I do the deed. They enjoy eating the results, though.
