Well, I just finished an article on Einstein’s brain over at Nomadic Nation.  Looks like Einstein’s brain covered almost more mileage after his death than before.  The article is all about the strange story of Dr. Thomas Harvey who, during the course of Einstein’s autopsy, took out Einstein’s brain, and kept it.  He claimed to have done it for research, though he never published any findings.  At one point, he took a road trip with a writer, Michael Paterniti, across country from New Jersey to California to visit Einstein’s granddaughter, with Einstein’s brain in the trunk of the car the whole trip.  So read the Strange Case of Einstein’s brain, if you dare.
