"Hours after Einstein's death, what was supposed to be a routine autopsy was performed by the pathologist at Princeton Hospital, Thomas Harvey, a small-town Quaker with a sweet disposition and rather dreamy approach to life and death. As a distraught Otto Nathan watched silently, Harvey removed and inspected each of Einstein's major organs, ending by using an electric saw to cut through his skull and remove his brain. When he stitched the body back up, he decided, without asking permission, to embalm Einstein's brain and keep it.
The next morning, in a fifth-grade class at a Princeton school, the teacher asked her students what news they had heard. "Einstein died," said one girl, eager to be the first to come up with that piece of information. But she quickly found herself topped by a usually quiet boy who sat in the back of the class. "My dad's got his brain, "he said.""
The above is from page 545 of "EINSTEIN - His Life and Universe" by Walter Isaacson..................This is a super piece of work, y'all. But. alas, it doesn't come with a whole lotta pictures and is loaded with multi syllable words so very few libruls would ever be able to enjoy it.
