Origin

This prop brain is originally from the hit Mel Brooks' feature film "Young Frankenstein", as the abnormal brain that Igor accidentally picked up instead of the healthy brain.

It can be seen in several episodes, but is first seen in season one's "Breakdown".

Effects

Causes the person(s) looking at the brain to go on a rampage. The brains of affected and non-affected individuals can swap bodies, at which time the rampage(s) will end. However the transfer is one-way and the artifact cannot effect the same person more than once.

When approached, the tune to "Putting on the Ritz" can be heard coming from inside the jar.

Collection

Collected from a movie memorabilia collection after it was put on display. After a rampage, brain-transfer and double homicide of the involved parties, the brains was collected.

Storage and Handling

Stored in a special containment jar which has a special neutralizer blend to prevent long-distance activation.

Neutralizer gloves and goggles are mandatory when handling the artifact directly. When moving the artifact, store the Brain and its jar in a neutralizer box until placed back.
