QUESTION OF THE DAY: June 30th, 2011

(I tried to post this on Facebook, but alas their Notes feature doesn't work on mobile browsers.)

On June 30th, 1905 Albert Einstein published an article titled: "On The Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies." This was when he first introduced us to his thoughts on "Special Relativity."

Upon Einstein's death his brain was given to science to study what exactly made him so damn smart. Einstein wasn't the first & definitely won't be the last famous person to have a body part given to science or some museum.

Today's question is about famous & historical body parts that somehow, someway, found themselves somewhere other than on their owner's body after death.

Of the six (6) individuals listed below, alongside their detached body part, which one (1) WAS NOT separated from their owner's body & put on display?

a) Galileo's Finger can be viewed at the Museo di Storia della Scienza. (No word on if it is his middle finger to send a 'special' message to the Pope of his day.)

b) After his death, Super Hipster & World Class Emo Frédéric Chopin had his heart placed inside an inscribed Pillar at the Holy Cross Church of Krakowskie Przedmiecie in Warsaw. How ultra emotionally cool!

c) Henri Matisse's left eyeball was sealed in a jar & placed near his final work, a stained glass installation at Union Church of Pocantico Hills in New York. Damn your eye! Too late.

d) John Wilkes Booth's thorax was preserved & is located at the Mütter Museum in Philadelphia. It's probably on display because of his AWESOME singing voice & not because he shot Lincoln.

e) Vladimir Lenin's Brain is at the Brain Institute in Moscow. Now that's Socialism baby!

f) President Grover Cleveland's malignant brain tumor can be seen at the Mütter Museum in Philadelphia. Malignant tumors have ALL the fun.

So what's your answer? I'll update this post with the correct answer at 10:00 PM EST.
