Headline: About 100 brains missing from University of Texas

They got up and walked away.

Holy shit! I remember that. What cartoon is that from?

Edit- Just had to do a reverse image search. Krang from Ninja Turtles. Man that takes me back.

You know that program is nothing but a haven for nutjobs, right?

I've heard it on a few times. I couldn't believe the host was so willing to accept the most outrageous and unlikely of suggestions as "fact" or "most likely" just because it was sensational. I think the host and producers know exactly what they're doing, but the listeners are mostly sheep.

I guess Einstein's brain is at someone's apartment.

Interesting. http://phenomena.nationalgeographic...eins-brain-was-stolen-and-wasnt-even-special/

I knew he wasn't very good at math as I heard on a AM radio program called Coast To Coast that his wife helped him do most of his calculations.

That's a hilariously false myth that, for some reason, remains popular with fools.

How be damned. Did a little research and I guess your right.

Chronicle of Higher Education Reports
100 Brains Missing From U. of Texas Flagship Are Found

... brains were found at the University of Texas at San Antonio, said Tim Schallert, co-curator of the collection of brains. “They have the brains,” Mr. Schallert said. “They read a media report of the missing brains, and they called to say, ‘We got those brains!’”

BBC Reports
'Missing' brains at Texas university were destroyed

"We believe the workers disposed of between 40 and 60 jars, some of which contained multiple human brains, and worked with a biological waste contractor to do so safely," according to a university statement.

"We have no evidence at this time that any of the brain specimens came from Charles Whitman, though we will continue to investigate those reports."

Tim Schallert, psychology professor and co-curator of the collection, initially told the Austin American-Statesman "we think somebody may have taken the brains, but we don't know at all for sure".

Apparently, missing brains are either in San Antonio or destroyed depending on who you believe...

Anyway, I enjoyed the discussion of Avogadro's Number.

The first time I heard it was on an episode of Tiny Toon Adventures.

I love it when I catch Coast to Coast if I'm driving late at night. It's impossible to fall asleep while my mind is racing, trying to wrap itself around the crazy.

Sometimes I just turn it off as it's just plain stupid. Art Bell had a show on SiriusXM, but it didn't last. I listened to the show and found it to be boring.

Pssssh. 100 brains? That's nothing. Go into P&N and you'll discover that there are a few hundred brains missing. 😛
