Just made me laugh heartily when I saw this headline, esp. given the antics in P&N.

But, no, it's not what you think; it's only about preserved specimens missing:


The University of Texas at Austin is missing about 100 brains — about half of the specimens the university had in a collection of brains preserved in jars of formaldehyde.


One of the missing brains is believed to have belonged to clock tower sniper Charles Whitman.

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

So special that when he died in Princeton Hospital, on April 18, 1955, the pathologist on call, Thomas Harvey, stole it. Einstein didn't want his brain or body to be studied; he didn't want to be worshipped.

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.
