"Abby Normal"


I saw this display of the human brain at the Museum of Science and Industry last week. When I first saw it, I couldn't help but think, "This must be Abby Normal's brain!"

Don't know what that means?

In the Mel Brooks movie, "Young Frankenstein," Dr. Frankenstein instructs Igor to go out and get him a human brain. But when Igor goes to steal the brain, he drops the one Dr. Frankenstein wants, so instead he brings back one labeled, "Abnormal Brain."

Later after the Frankenstein monster is created and things start to go wrong, Dr. Frankenstein asks Igor whose brain he got. So Igor tells him it was from, "Abby Normal." Makes sense to me! :)
