If anyone's in the market for a brain, I'll make you a great deal. I seldom have to use mine in the job I'm working at, and I could use the extra dough.

I've read Spook and Bonk--haven't made it to Stiff yet. Mary Roach is the queen of the intersection of curiosity and fucked-up stories.

you should read stiff: the curious lives of human cadavers if you're curious about where your parts will (legally) go when they're donated to science. some really fucked-up stories, although nothing that would make me uncheck the organ donor box.

I love that Part 1 of this investigative series it titled: "King County Trades Human Brains For Money." Curious about the reaction from the graverobbers' local.
