They Stole Einstein's Brain
Random trivia I learned tonight on Red Eye. Apparently, Einstein was autopsied after his death (no details on why) and someone stole his brain. It turned up 40 years later in Minnesota. The pathologist thought maybe he could find the genius in the brain, but it seems Einstein's brain was just like everyone else's.Second random fact, most people who are autopsied in hospital autopsies are buried without their brain. It's kept and studied for a month or so after the death and then cremated. Unless of course, the family wants brain and body together. Then they exhume the body and replace the brain.
The things you learn watching late night television. Thanks Dr. Baden!
