Did you know that Albert Einstein’s brain was removed seven hours after his death and spent the next twenty five years hidden away inside a cardboard box in a basement?

what was it doing there?
His eyes were also removed, though given away.
Well did they do anything with it before hand?
aveeeeeee ahahahha that absurd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fear!!!
That just seems pointless to take out the brain and then do nothing with it. I would’ve tried to extract the knowledge from it haha
O_o… did they do any experiments on it before they put it in a cardboard box?
I read somewhere, a while back, that the doctor who removed Einstein’s brain, did do experiments, and tried to preserve it. He gave small parts of the brain away, but kept most of it to himself. The eyes went to Einstein’s ophthalmologist, respectively.
(Forgive me if some of these facts are wrong. I read about it years ago; this is mostly from memory)
ew. just a cardboard box in a basement. not even dried or put in some sort of fridge? again ew.
Huh. Some people have the weirdest things in their basements.
