I remember being told by my science teacher in the sixth grade that they had at one point weighted Einstein’s brain and it suppsedly weighed more than a normal one.

An interesting aside: most people have the impression that Einstein was a weedy little guy who'd have best been played by Woody Allen in the movie. In fact:
The English author and physicist C. P. Snow recalled driving to Nassau Point in 1937 to visit the 58-year-old Albert Einstein. ``What did surprise me was his physique,'' Snow wrote in Commentary magazine in 1967. ``He had come in from sailing and was wearing nothing but a pair of shorts. It was a massive body, very heavily muscled: he was running to fat around the midriff and in the upper arms, rather like a footballer in middle age, but he was still an unusually strong man.
