is there another
ENSTEIN?? hehehe
ummm that sounds like an urban legend. they have his eyeballs on display somewhere......can't remember where tho.
it's not peoples body parts only. it's everything dealing with medicine, including oddities like two headed babies, etc. it's not like a carney freakshow tho....the museums purpose was to help the profession progress.
they have this room filled with 1000's of things people have actually swallowed....it's fascinating!

its acctually NOT an urban legend.
my mom read the book, and the auther had heard it... and thought it was an urban legend... but got obsessed with wanting to find out the true story...
so he researched it and tracked down the dude, and its true... he really has his brain.
