AUSTIN, Texas (AP) The University of Texas at Austin is missing about 100 brains about half of the specimens the university had in a collection of brains preserved in jars of formaldehyde.
One of the missing brains is believed to have belonged to clock tower sniper Charles Whitman.
"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 (http://bit.ly/11R7vym ).
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."
The Austin State Hospital had transferred the brains to the university about 28 years ago under a "temporary possession" agreement. Schallert said his psychology lab had room for only 100 brains, so the rest were moved to the basement of the university's Animal Resources Center.

That is nothing. You should see how many are missing in Ferguson.
...with thousands more corrupted.
The jokes write themselves.
Why is anyone surprised? Austin, Texas, is one of the most liberal cities in the United States. Anyone with half a brain realized a long time ago that Austin was missing many, many brains.
“About 100 brains missing from University of Texas”
That’s nothing, try to find one in Congress.
Explains why Austin is so left wing liberal.
Maybe the Dems are trying to find one that’s a good fit for Biden.
For a second there I thought it was a story about Congress.....
BFD. The brains of everyone who voted for 0bama are missing and no one noticed.

Yes, Abby Normal!
100? no big deal - there’s thousands missing in Washington DC.
Finally. Someone notices. This has been happening right before us for years and is a major epidemic in almost all of our schools today affectiing administers, teachers, and students.
A lawyer questioning a doctor during a trial:
Q: “Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?”
A: “No.”
Q: “Did you check for blood pressure?”
A: “No.”
Q: “Did you check for breathing?”
A: “No.”
Q: “So, then, it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?”
A: “No.”
Q: “How can you be so sure, doctor?”
A: “Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.”
Q: “But could the patient have still been alive nevertheless?”
A: “It is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere.”
100?
Psssssshhhhh... That’s nothing compared to all the brains missing from Washington DC! A mere drop in the bucket!
The aggies needed them!
It was a while back, but a Congressman from Texas was on the long journey home from Washington. He stopped to visit his congressional colleague from Tennessee.
The Tennessean gave him a tour of Knoxville. They went down near the river to see the creation. The Tennessean proudly exclaimed This is our great University, The University of Tennessee. He went on to extol the great professors and opportunities for the bright students flocking to the campus. He called the chancellor who graciously greeted the congressman from Texas with a Tennessee orange T shirt emblazoned UT.
While traveling, the Texan thought on his visit and concluded that we need a university like that in Texas.
Alas, disaster struck. While philandering in a gambling hall under the hill in Natchez, the Congressman from the great but fledgling State of Texas was murdered. He went immediately to hell. The fires burned heatedly and though not consumed, his hair, eyebrows and clothing were scorched. On presentation to the devil, the evil one saw the UT shirt and decided this must be a Holy Man and cast the Texan out. He found himself dazed but alive once more on the road back to Texas.
As soon as he got home, he called a committee to meet and they created a University, The University of Texas. To his day many Texans proudly wear T shirts of Burnt Orange bearing the logo UT.
Once again, like the Alamo and San Jacinto, Texans became indebted to Tennessee for greatness.
Obamazombies looking for brains because they need one...
Funny that it happened in Austin, which, of course, is a idiot liberal enclave in generally conservative Texas. Kowinkydink? I think not.
