100 brains missing from University of Texas
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/100-brains-missing-from-university-of-texas/
About 100 brains, including one believed to be that of clock tower sniper Charles Whitman, are missing from a collection at the The University of Texas at Austin.
It remains unclear who took the brains preserved in jars of formaldehyde and whether this was a harmless prank or theft.
"We think somebody may have taken the brains, but we don't know at all for sure," psychology Professor Tim Schallert, co-curator of the collection, told the Austin American-Statesman.
His co-curator, psychology Professor Lawrence Cormack, said, "It's entirely possible word got around among undergraduates and people started swiping them for living rooms or Halloween pranks."
