This is a QotW answer No body, but dead nevertheless
Secondary school, biology lessons. Back of the class, on a shelf?

Human brain in a small rectangular tank. Pickled. Old and yellowed. I'm not sure if it was there as a threat to pupils who didn't do their homework, or as a test to see who would show no fear of dissection and the like...

Apparently it used to have a name-tag, but that got lost over the years. Quite interesting to look at, anyway - and much nicer than the monstrous dissected rabbits in glass cylinders hidden under a bench, with bloated, blue-purple large intestines hanging out into the formaldehyde, magnified by the shape of the containers...

This is a QotW comment I would have had to
put a label on it saying ABNORMAL, just to see how many Young Frankenstein fans there were.

This is a QotW comment Hehehe
Miss Uuuhuuhmelmahay. I've never seen a human brain, but they did have pickled assorted wildlife in a big glass room at my old school. I rarely went in there....

This is a QotW comment I'd completely forgotten
about 2nd year biology in high school.......dissecting cats. I was only in my first year when I got to watch some of the dissection. I wanted to do it sooo bad but ended up not taking the class....I was afraid it would offend my cat at home if I did.
