"UPDATE: Racine police say brain found at park 'not consistent with a human brain.'"

Reports Madison.com.
A brain found wrapped in foil Tuesday morning at the beach at Samuel Myers Park was deemed "not consistent with a human brain" according to a Thursday morning email from Racine Police Department Public Information Officer Sgt. Chad Melby.

"At this time it is unsure what type of animal it is," Melby said, noting the Racine County Medical Examiner, who made the determination, is in possession of the brain.
Some people have lost their mind, but others are in possession of the brain.

Imagine beachcombing and finding a brain... a brain in aluminum foil...
Flowers and money were also reportedly found in the package.
A brain in aluminum foil with flowers and money. What kind of flowers? How much money? Small bills? Coins?

ADDED: "At this time it is unsure what type of animal it is." It is unsure? The brain?!! Melby is attributing a high level of cognition to this disembodied brain. You have to do some thinking to reach the state of unsureness. It would probably be more accurate to say that the brain has no thoughts at all — not certitude, of course, but also not uncertainty.

AND: What flower? I'm thinking coxcomb:

Campaign donations for Joe Biden?

We have most certainly arrived at a tipping point in civilization. Time was you would walk on a beach and find smooth stones, or a crab shell (depending on where you live). Now it's brains and flowers.

"Hi Honey. I'm home. I brought you a little something."
"Hi Love. Oh...you shouldn't have. Oh...(taken aback). Brains! Oh honey. You shouldn't have!"

People still beachcomb? Really? I would've thought decades of finding used condoms and needles would've put the last diehards off, but apparently not now when there are brains to be found also.

Beachcombing, the Vincent Van Price of hobbies.

Was it next to an absentee ballot for Biden?

Once I dreamed while walking on a beach in Southern California, I found JFK's thigh bone.
I still don't know what the dream meant.

Have they checked with the Transylvania Brain Depository yet?

An AOC voter?

That coxcomb pic, that is downright evil! LOLOL

Quick, wrap that brain in ice and keep it as intact as possible. Ship it to the City Council of Minneapolis. Any member would be better off with that brain than what he/she is currently using.

Around Halloween, my brother and I used to put cooked spaghetti noodles into medium sized bowls. Fill the bowls with Knox gelatin, let it set, unmold it on a plate ... voila! Brains.

We were weird kids. He grew out of it fortunately.

Lucid-Ideas said...

Are they sure it wasn't cheese?

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/apr/18/mouldy-blue-brain-cheese-im-not-sure-who-wanted-to-eat-who

Flowers? Money? And cheese...that would make more sense. Nothing says 'I love you' like flowers, money and super moldy cheese.

I'll bite.

The "it" that is "unsure" is the same "it" found in "It is not clear when the fog will have lifted". Its pronouns are "it".

"not consistent with a human brain"

So it supports Antifa/BLM?....

Still...has anyone checked out Biden's skull to see if it is emptier than usual? New rock group: Brains and Roses.

Women like flowers and they like guys with money and brains.

Somebody went acourtin'.

I'm unsure what type of animal Melby is... Racine Police Department Public Information Officer Sgt. Chad Melby. Oh, those are the guys who say stuff like "They proceeded from the location in a northerly direction".

A guy killed by brains, photographic proof.

Mary Beth said...

I probably would not open a foil-wrapped package I found lying around.

Fernandinande said...

Pro Tip! If you want to see actual human brains in action, look for russian shotgun suicide on hoodsite.com

in possession of the brain

"Were you out on the lake today kissing your brain?"

Dr. Hfuhruhurr: "No."

My thought too. You take the foil-wrapped package and you deposit it in the garbage.

"DO NOT USE THIS BRAIN!"

LA_Bob said...

In the Rogan clip to the earlier post, Rogan says the Portland rioters want the mayor's head. So there you have it. After all, the brain was "not consistent with a human brain".

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

probably some deranged left-prog who works at the local slaughter house.

Charlie Eklund said...

While I am glad they found this particular brain, the events of the last four years have convinced me that there is definitely more than one brain that has gone missing. Keep looking, guys!

Racine to the turn of the crime.

Big Mike said...

It’s the contents of the skull of a Democrat politician. That’s why it only superficially resembles a human brain.

"Brain, what is brain?"

Great dialogue from "Spock's brain" a TOS episode that has stayed with me for 30 years.

rcocean said...

Has someone called Joe Biden or Jennifer Rubin?

Joe Smith said...

If it was only a few coins, I think it's just a case of cerebral paltry...

Pig brain from a butcher, someone got it as a joke?

"The Bride of Frankenstein" starring Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Remember the scene where the Bride started screaming/laughing when the Monster tried to smell her hair?

Speaking of finding things: Husband & I were on a walk in the Arboretum with our two small children and they found bones of a small mammal including an intact skull. They begged us to take all of it home so they could take it to show and tell. Put everything in my jacket pocket but thought on the way home “we have a university here, maybe someone will know what these bones were from”.
So off to the university to see if we could get some help.
Found a professor working on a Saturday morning and by golly he knew what it was the minute I pulled the skull out of my pocket.
It was a grey fox and he told us it was a species rarely found in Wisconsin and it is the only fox known to climb trees. He knew specifically based on the skull suture markings.

Well, show and tell was a big hit with the skulls, bones, and a book with a picture from a National Geographic.

So....you can find crazy things you just got to have good resources to figure out what it is.

Probably a Nancy Pelosi bot who killed his neighbor's dog over a flag.

It seems like Inga left this site because we cruelly and constantly derided her for not having a functioning brain.

Is this piece speculation about why she left?

"At this time it is unsure what type of animal it is."

This is classic government-speak. To avoid responsibility, government employees frequently employ passive voice, misplaced modifiers, and so forth to obscure responsibility. The police department cannot say, "The coroner can't tell if the brain is human or not."

You don't want to embarrass a coroner. And "We can't tell what kind of brain it is" would insult the coroner and the police chief (not a good career move).

Oh, we're doing political jokes...

Can we vote for the brain for president?
