About 100 human brains have mysteriously disappeared from the University of Texas (UT) at Austin campus. One of the missing brains belonged to Charles Whitman, the man who killed 16 people on the UT campus in 1966.
28 years ago, 200 human brains soaked in formaldehyde were transferred to UT for research purposes, according to the Austin American-Statesman. But now half of that original shipment is nowhere to be found.
Some UT faculty believe someone stole the brains. One professor told the Statesman, "We think somebody may have taken the brains, but we dont know at all for sure."
Making the situation even more eerie is the disappearance of Whitman's brain. He was an engineering student at the time of the school shooting. After Whitman gunned down 16 individuals, a policeman shot and killed him.

I worked with a woman for two years, her name is Abagail, and I nicknamed her Abbynormal and she had no idea what the reference was.
Heh. After that episode aired, it was still a few years before I was old enough to fully comprehended that line about “givers of pain and delight”.

KARA: You will have him back and we will be destroyed.
KIRK: No. You won’t be destroyed. You’ll be without your Controller for the first time, but you’ll be much better off, I think.
KARA: We will die.
KIRK: No, you’ll live and develop as you should have. All this shouldn’t have been done for you. Now the women here below and the men here above will control together.
KARA: They will not help us without the pain.
KIRK: There are other ways. You’ll discover them. You must move to the surface, you understand.

Although many "civilians" (understandably) don't know this pathologists play a pivotal role in all aspects of medical research.
The loss of these brains could conceivably have a huge,negative,effect on the furthering of medical knowledge.
I know this seems like a good topic to make fun of, but I’m very good friends with a guy whose father was killed by Charles Whitman. So this has a different meaning to me.
