    I think it has something to do with JFK's asassination. As far as "who's got the brain of JFK?" goes:
    From what I can determine, the autopsy on John Kennedy was held on Friday night, the 22nd of November, 1963. The brain was placed in a bucket containing a solution for hardening and stored in a closet in the office of Admiral Galloway. On Sunday, Admiral Burkley made it known that the Kennedy family wished for the brain to be interred with the body on Monday afternoon. So apparently a supplementary autopsy, or brain exam, was arranged for Monday morning. This version of the story says that the brain was looked at, photographed, and buried in JFK's casket on Monday, November 25th, 1963.

    But wait. The following Friday, the 29th, Dr. Pierre Finck, one of the autopsists, was called to attend a brain exam to take place on the following Monday, December 2nd. So on Monday the 2nd, they all got together again and looked at a brain that was said to be the presidents. Following this exam the brain was transferred to the safe (?) hands of the Secret Service.

    The SS held the brain, as well as slides and parrafin blocks, until April 25, 1965, when they were turned over to the secretary of Robert Kennedy (Evelyn Lincoln) and placed in trust (?) in a safe in the National Archives. The letter for this transfer records the slides, blocks and "1 stainless steel container 7" in diameter X 8" containing gross material", presumably the brain.

    The material was thought to be safe in the archives until it was decided, in October of 1966, to transfer custody from the estate of JFK to the Government of the U.S. As part of this transfer, on October 31 a complete inventory of the safe revealed that the brain, the slides and the blocks were missing.

    I think it was buried along with the body, but I think Eddie disagrees. It's certainly could be anywhere.
