Woman Says Husband's Brain Missing

If you go to the link the full title reads..
N.Y. Woman Says Husband's Brain Missing, Illegally Used for Medical Research
To read a little farther explains that the husband is in fact, dead. It seems that the body was accidentally taken from the office of the Suffolk County Medical Examiner and used for medical research. The widower seeks $4,000,00.00 in damages.
You can almost see Marty Feldman, as Igor (pronounced Eye-gore), grabbing the wrong brain for Doctor Frederick Fronkensteen, son of Mary Shelley's Victor Frankenstein.
One of the better exhanges in a Mel Brooks movie....

Igor: "Dr. Frankenstein"
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: "Fronkensteen"
Igor: "You're putting me on."
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: "No, it's pronounced 'Fronkensteen'."
Igor: "Do you also say 'Froaderick'?"
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: No... 'Frederick'."
Igor: "Well, why isn't it 'Froaderick Fronkensteen'?"
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: "It isn't; it's 'Frederick Fronkensteen'."
Igor: "I see."
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: "You must be Igor. [He pronounces it ee-gor]"
Igor: "No, it's pronounced 'eye-gor'."
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: "But they told me it was 'ee-gor'."
Igor: "Well, they were wrong then, weren't they?"
