“It just scares me to death,” a terrified Beck told the station. “I didn’t think they were that kind of people, but nowadays, you never know.”

Police told the station that the brain was found beneath a porch, where it was kept inside a Walmart shopping bag.

It even had a name: “Freddy.”

Zombies and progressives eat brains - for obvious reasons.

Be afraid.

“The defendant related that he knew it was illegal to have the brain and that he and (another man) would spray the embalming fluid on ‘weed’ to get high,”

There are lots and lots of candidates meeting the police description: ““At this point now, we’re just trying to figure out where it came from,” he said. “We’re hoping that if anyone feels like they’re missing a human specimen brain, bring it to our attention and maybe we could return it to its rightful owner.”-— starting with many of today’s politicians

I guess he was using formaldahyde to keep the brain from drying out, and used it as visual entertainment, the way normal people use an aquarium. Oh, and he was glazing his cigarrettes with this same formaldahyde then smoking it.
He does need to go buy a brain from somewhere. His own must have fried away long time ago.
