Missing brains in Texas have been found

Like all good mysteries, the case of the 100 missing brains in Texas has taken a new twist.

First, word had come that about half of the 200 brains kept at a university research center had gone absent without leave. Then a professor said Wednesday they had been located – at another school.

Now this update: The brains were destroyed more than a decade ago.

I thought they'd been destroyed in 1994, but turns out 100 had been hidden away as a curiosity piece. Luckily for the state legislature they were discovered and disposed of as waste in 2002.
