Zombies?
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.
Someone finally checked the Humanities Department's staff.
One of the missing brains is believed to have belonged to clock tower sniper Charles Whitman.
Is one of them named Abby Normal? Where is Dr. Frankenstein?
That's "Frahnken-shteen!"
"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."
