The case of the missing 100 brains in Texas has been solved, officials said on Wednesday. And, no, this is not a joke.
The brains, missing from a facility at the University of Texas in Austin have been found at the University of Texas in San Antonio, Timothy Schallert, a professor of neuroscience and psychology at the Austin school, told the Los Angeles Times.
“They have the brains,” Schallert said. “They read a media report of the missing brains and they called to say: ‘We got those brains!’
“I know the brains will be treated very well there,” Schallert said.
The case of the missing brains began in the 1990s, Schallert said, when officials noticed that about half of 200 brains stored at the Austin school had gone absent without leave. The brains were individually stored in formaldehyde, used as a preservative.
The brains, kept at the school’s Animal Resources Center in Austin, were mostly from patients at a state mental hospital and were used for research including studying Alzheimer’s disease.

What’s missing in our reps in DC is not brains, it’s balls.
