"Albert Einstein's brain was stolen after he died" The man who performed the autopsy on Einstein's body shortly after he died was a Princeton pathologist by the name of Thomas Harvey. Harvey removed the brain for examination, as is customary during autopsies, but he never replaced it. At the cost of his job and reputation, Harvey instead placed it in a jar of formaldehyde and took it home! Over the next 40 years, he sent bits of the brain to leading neuroscientists for them to study. He felt that stealing the brain was his scientific duty! What is left of the brain now resides back at Princeton where it started - Harvey tried to return it to Einstein's daughter at one point, but she didn't want it, so he gave it back to the university.

How do we Spell 'Marilyn Monroe'? Even She Couldn't Tell!!!!According to sources, Marilyn Monroe had to ask a photographer how to spell her own name when signing an autograph. The easiest explanation is that this is not her real name, but an artistic pseudonym. Norma Jeane Dougherty was taken in by 20th Century Fox, but her name so didn't sound like a star’s name. At least that is what the producers though. This is why they came up with 'Marilyn Monroe'. This is final result after many proposed variations starting from 'Carole Lind' to 'Jean Norman'. Finally, director Ben Lyon decided to use 'Marilyn' as the name of Mrs. Miller- a 1920s stage actress who he strongly cherished. The surname came as the young starlet took her mother's maiden name. As Lyon and the other staff at 20th Century Fox decided it sounded great and catchy, the old Norma Jean became Marilyn Monroe- the star.
