Is Einstein’s brain kept in a bottle in a small-town doctor’s office near Kansas City?

No. Actually, I remember seeing a story about this on the ABC station here in Wichita. A local reporter went to a home of some man that has Eintein’s brain in about 5 different jars (more or less, I could be wrong). But that doesn’t matter. Wichita, Kansas is nowhere near Kansas City, nor is a small town by any chance. To answer that question, it’s in a jar in Wichita, Kansas. The rest I have no clue about, since I was very young when the report aired.

As I reported on this Board, there’s an entire book about the recent travels of Einstein’s brain, written by the guy who drobve the car. Someone gave me a copy of **Driving Mr. Albert: A Trip Across America with Einstein’s Brain** for Christmas:

I was 7 when the report aired. I’m 17 now, what does that say about me? 🙂

It’s customary to include a link to the column being referenced, so’s we can all get on the same page, so to speak.
