The first thing I thought of when I read about a pickled brain was Ted Kennedy.

“rapid burial in an aqueous environment”....

I know this one isn’t THAT old, but this statement above is what we’ve been saying about fossils in general for a long time.

Me too.

But then the first line in the article mentioned ‘near perfect condition’ and I knew it had nothing to do with him.

You know, if they had a way to hook it back up again, IMAGINE all they could learn.

As well as creeping out the dude who got axed.

"The head was then carefully severed from the neck using a small blade, such as a knife," added O'Connor, a post-doctoral research associate at the University of Bradford. "This was used to cut through the throat and between the vertebrae and has left a cluster of fine cut marks on the bone."

They had Muslims back then? Who knew!

What did he get axed?

My first thought was - those crazy Muslims... even before there were Muslims. Of course, ever since Ishmael there have been “muslims”.

According to the article, he was hung first then they cut off his head.
Whoever this was, they wanted to make damn sure he stayed dead..............
