Brain in a Jar


The Ancient Texts do make reference to a "brain in a jar".

This researcher was not  in attendance, thus I only present the legend as it appears within the Ancient Texts, without editorial comment.

Methodology:  MS Word Find was used to search for earliest mention of "jar".  The following excerpts, while in date order, are taken from various forums and are responses to various threads.

"So what's the Buzzsaw going to do for us now, if we accidentally happen to be funny on these boards? Has this already been addressed on a FAQ board somewhere? Is there any value to being funny anymore?"

If you play nice, Buzzsaw will make sure that Lundy stays in his jar.

Welcome aboard, but watch out for the dog. It has a throat problem. And stay away from the the jar in the fridge. It's Lundy's brain. Don't worry, you'll cawtch on eventually. Or else.
