BERLIN (Reuters) - The brains of three members of the infamous Baader-Meinhof Gang of German urban guerrillas have disappeared from a lab, the laboratory says.

Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin and Jan-Carl Raspe were members of the gang that waged a campaign of killings, bombings and kidnappings against the West German establishment in the 1970s.

After the three extreme leftists committed suicide in prison in 1977, their brains were taken to a university hospital in southern Tuebingen for autopsy, but the brains are no longer there and their whereabouts are unknown.

"When I took over the institute in 1990, the brains were not there, although they were still listed in our files," Richard Meyermann, head of the hospital's institute for brain research, told Reuters, confirming a report in Der Spiegel magazine. He said he thought it unlikely that they were stolen.

The announcement Monday comes days after the daughter of gang co-leader Ulrike Meinhof discovered her mother's brain was being kept in a box in Magdeburg University in eastern Germany.

Long as I remember
The brain been in the jar
Clouds of myst'ry pourin'
Confusion in the bar

Good men through the ages
They try to stop the pain
But I wonder, still I wonder
Who'll copped the brain

I went down Virginia
Seekin' shelter from the storm
Just caught up in the fable
I watched the tower grow
Five-year plan and new deals
Wrapped in golden chains
Still I wonder, yes I wonder
Who'll copped the brain

Heard the doctors playin'
How we cheered for more
The crowd had rushed together
Tryin' to keep warm
Still the brain is missing
Stolen through the years

And I wonder, still I wonder
Who'll copped the brain
I wanna know, baby I wanna know

"Ich bin ein No-brainer."

It's nice to meet such transparent folks here. I wouldn't go around admitting such things, though. ;-)

Hint: "Ich bin ein No-brainer"="I am a No-brainer"

[BSunday]

Hint: I believe that was meant to be a humorous quote, not an admission.

[Charles Henrickson]

Ja, jboot missed das Boot.

[Charles Henrickson]

. . . the brains are no longer there and their whereabouts are unknown.

The brains insane stay mainly unrestrained.
