The Pathologist who conducted Albert Einstein's autopsy stole his brain and kept it in a jar for 20 years.
In Einstein's Last Will and Testament, he specifically requested that his remains be cremated and his ashes scattered; he did not want his body to be worshiped or put on display.
The strangest part of this story is that, after many people around the world conducted tests on pieces of his brain, they found no significant difference between the Einstein brain and the brain of someone with average intelligence.
Einstein...being a smart guy and all, knew all too well what would happen if his brain was studied and he did not want people jumping to false conclusion about what it takes to "become a genius".
"Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts." -Albert Einstein
