Roughly 100 human brains were stolen from a laboratory in the University of Texas and there are few if any leads as to who stole them and why.
If anyone happens to find about a hundred brains stored in formaldehyde, they might want to inform administrators from the University of Texas. The university that took on nearly 200 brains for research 28 years ago is now missing half of them and they have no idea why, nor do they seem to have any clues as to who stole them.

Talk about a head scratcher, this thief (or thieves) has left those who work with the specimens flabbergasted.
“We think somebody may have taken the brains, but we don’t know at all for sure,” Tim Schallert, a psychology professor, said Tuesday, per the Austin American-Statesman.
Possibilities range from mischievous undergraduates looking to compile a brain collection for their dorm room to demented fans of the Texas Bell Tower Sniper, Charles Whitman, whose brain is among those stolen.
For now though, the university has few solid answers, though they have promised to ‘carefully investigate’ the matter. Let’s hope the assigned investigators don’t lose their mind along the way. That’s just about the last thing UT needs right about now.
