The brain specimen is being investigated by the CDC for…
… a decision on what to do with the specimen.
So they’re going to ask it?

Send it to the White House. They are in short supply there.

When I was a teenager, the drinking age in Illinois was 21 but the drinking age in Wisconsin was 18. I don’t know about the brain drain to Kenosha, but many of us had our brains drained before returning from there.

You beat me to it. I suspect that the specimen in the jar is in better condition and functions better than the one in the Oval Office.

Apparently, the brain came from someone called “Abby Normal”.

My wife was given a human brain in what looks like a big pickle jar. But that’s another story.
So one day, I get in her car and ask “Did you go to Taco Bell?” “No.” “Hmm, smells like Taco Bell in here.”
Next day: “You went to Taco Bell without me.” “Nooo.” “It smells like Taco Bell in here!”
We learned 1 of 2 things that day. Either:
Taco Bell smells like human brains.
or
Human brains smell like Taco Bell.
(I don’t know what that brain is preserved in, but dang if it doesn’t smell EXACTLY like Taco Bell to me.)

Well, they were going to use the one marked “Hans Delbruck”, but there was this, er, accident. . . .

So my first lab gig was comparative neuroanatomy of primate brains. We would get shipments of human brains from a hospital in Chicago, and it always amazed me that they would be delivered by random delivery people with no idea what was in the box. Usually there was no biohazard label or anything.
