X-Ray My Brain Waves
FOUND by Diane Partridge
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
X-rays of a brain found in a trash pile in Philly. Later that same week I found three more smaller brain x-rays in a different location.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Are these x rays or some other imaging technology (like a cat scan)?
Anybody know what they'd be used for or how they might wind up in a trash heap?
Top-middle converted their brain to a Lite-Brite (they do misspell it, right?) board!
And the answer to the captcha is 42, as is the answer to Everything else.
"I could while away the hours
Conferring with the flowers
Consulting with the rain.
And my head I'd be a-scratchin'
While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain."
That's a standard dry head CT (Cat Scan)
But what's it MEAN, Adam? How long do I have?
Man: Doctor, my brain hurts!
Doctor: Well, It'll have to come out then.
@ Adam ... well, of course it's a dry head CT; didn't you hear that "the wet head is dead"?? (or am I dating myself with that old an advertising reference? [not that there's anything wrong with "dating myself" as long as it's done in the privacy of my own home].)
"Wet head", "Dry head". What's the difference. I'd take either over my "bald head".
Well it's obvious from the second scan that the subject has another person in their brain so I'd say this is a CAT scan of a schizophrenic.
(I'm not a doctor BUT I play one at night!)
oh librarian! you did just date yourself (and me). i bet you can also whistle the lite-brite tune, too.
I owned a Lite-Brite when I was younger...but never had a brain to to punch coloured pegs into!
SHEESH!
The last scan, on the top right corner...looks creepy!
Schneh, check out bbc.co.uk/h2g2
I promise you'll like it.
librarian. I like dating myself. At least i don't have to worry about calling myself the next day and being all embarrassed (yeah.. can you just put those panties in the mail for me? or leave them in the mailbox, i'll pick them up on my way by.)
The second one looks like a sea turtle and the third one looks like a snow angel.
I wondered where I left these.
The last I saw them was when I took them on a date with myself. We had a lovely dinner - then on to a show - a little pub for a nightcap - and the next thing you know - poof!
The brainscans were gone, but the date lives on in my memory.
Alan. welcome back, we (i) missed you.
Lars, I don't remember dating you. Right now I'm eating organic flowers and vegetables, and trying not to remember my youth. Thanks for writing; I'd love to keep in touch, but in all honesty, I probably won't write back. Yada, yada, yada.
Mona
Right back at ya!
I thought the one on the top left looked like someone I used to go to high school with, but then I remembered she had brown eyes, not milky gray ones. Very close resemblence otherwise, however.
and the one on the bottom in the middle looks like a Happy Guy, and the one on the bottom right looks like a bunny rabbit. (in extreme shock, with his ears so far back we can't see 'em.)
My My, Alan, how TAN your comments are!! Lookin' sharp.
john. your mom looks like someone i went to high school with..
Probably not Mona. Today is my mom's 80th birthday.
Dear John. My comment was not meant to be taken literally. It was one of those 'your mom' things, where you say 'your mom' to anything someone says to you.
Like... to failing.. i would say
your mom looks like a Happy Guy.
Dear Mona. Where I come from the expression is "Yo Mama . . ." usually followed by "is so . . ." etc.
To be completely honest, I'm sorry to say that most likely I won't be writting letters.
Sincerely,
(cute little curly-que)
John
Who is this mysterious CatScanScatterer?
yo mama...remember that show on MTV--horrible!
The guy in the upper right is 'Racer X' !
Where, oh where, is Brain Problem in my Head when you need him/her?
Diane, please clarify: did you find x-rays in a trash pile of a brain, or did you find a brain in a trash pile and take x-rays of it?
I'm just askin'.
These are cool! 3rd one, looks like a pirate's flag. Anyone else getting bored with the lists?
@Mona..seems like someone's got a bit of the panty-passive-aggressive-behavior going on..
leaving them, then asking for them back?
Personally, I only leave them behind when I want them back!!! (but would never ask...
yeah.. i'm posessive about my panties, and usually only leave them behind when i'm in such a drunken stupor that i forget to put them back on, Right alan?
this is your brain. this is your brain on meth. any questions?...
'Cuz if you go back and read the caption . . . oh, nevermind. (I was just askin'.)
Mona, I seem to have some vague memory of you running nekkid through a pile of brain scans, but I wasn't going to bring it up.
ah, yes, alan... good times, good times. you are the soul of discretion, aren't you? I won't mention the naughty pics i have of you in my mri machine, either.
John, i had the same question. I don't think my first instinct would be to Xray a brain that i found in the garbage. I would probably put up a few pictures around the neighbourhood, to see if someone lost it. I have a lovely big gallon jar that i could keep it in. What would you feed it, tho?
eew. Do we really need to hear about mona masturbating and mona's panties today? I'm out.
Oh, so THESE must be the pictures from y'all's 5-way. Nice brain tan, Alan.
(Welcome back. You've been sorely missed!)
I wonder if somebody dropped their own CT scans in anger over the diagnosis? Or if some medical center isn't disposing of their records properly?
Mona, you'd feed it brain food, of course.
The second on down kind of looks like Gumby, I wonder is as a kid he put a little Gumby up his nose and was never able to get it out?? And now come the consequences of hiding treasure up your nose. Dangerous!
Doctor: " I'm sorry to tell you sir but you have Gumbitis of the Brain..."
Patient: Gasps!"Oh No!!" Passes out
LMFAO!!! GUMBITIS OF THE BRAIN? ROFL!!
Hey, Mona, thanks for that site. You've given me something new to explore. And re-convinced me that the BBC is cooler than any network the US has to offer. And made me need a cup of tea. All in one fell swoop!
Imagine the individual squares in the above picture are numbered 1-6. With the blank box being labeled #1 and so forth across, et cetera..
This is your brain....
1. This is your brain after meeting Mary's friend
J.
2. This is your brain after dating a computer
geek.
5.This is your brain after shopping at Walmart
and buying "white beeters", Ax and Kapri Sun.
for the record, i didnt bring up the 'self love', i just made mention of it like others did. chill out, better off.
schneh. i'm glad you like it. I wish the CBC were as cool as the BBC. Are you having a cuppa now?
John - of course, you're right. Maybe i've been neglectful in feeding my own brain.
Night - that's why my brain hurts so bad!
I must have gotten brain burn - now I'll just have to keep it moisturized until it turns into brain tan.
Alan, you should have used a brain block with a higher SPF. Call me if it starts to peel....
"White Beeters"?? Do you mean a "wife beater"?
Maybe they meant Egg Beaters, Eggs from a carton yummmmy lol
@ Alan
I can help you with your brain burn come over my way ;)
Since no one was chiming in with medical thoughts, I did some internet research, and with the full force of my Master's degree in Anthropology, I hereby pronounce the brain scans normal. The enlarged photo is still not very close up, but it seems from my research that if something is really wrong, it's pretty obvious even not up close. There may be some small tumors I can't see, however. I was worried about the black marks in shots 3 and 4, but they are normal.
See this link for abnormal and normal scans.

So THAT'S where I left it. I lost my mind years ago...
Empty. Just as I suspected.
although I really do appreciate a find that's not a list (finally!) and the person who sent it, I did get annoyed by the "more smaller" thing going on....
=/
Oh, by the way, hi! I'm new-ish...kinda-ish...
One of these brains is not like the others
One of theses brains just doesn't belong.
Can you guess which brain is not like the others
Before I finish my song.
And now my song is done!
Long time listener, first time caller.
@goldbelly: Yay, a fellow Hoosier! I grew up in South Bend!
buried deep, check a few finds back, you'll get the white beeters remark.
Hi, Juliana. welcome to found. I hope you like us.
I am drunk. that looks like a snow angel on the bottom left. maybe someone mentioned that already (o shit) bit she's got somekind of crown on. what I'm wondering is: does my brain look like a goddamn snow angel?! this is the kinda shit my doctor should be telling me. not the latest methods for cleaning my ears, your brain is a snow angel with a crown on!!! holyfuck!
Could it be the brain of Abby Normal?
@ Goldbelly: Good one! And welcome
@ Scarecrow: LOL...I sing that song to myself often. Talk about a time warp...dating myself..it is grand :)
Hank--right now your brain looks like a big mushy pile of baby shit. Tomorrow your brain will be severely dehydrated and you will need numerous beverages to relieve the problem. I receommend you start with a bloody mary. Follow this with some smarties (the real ones). Trust me on this.
Cheers!
yeah= none of those candy coated chocolate thingies. You'll need American Smarties.
Good luck, and god speed. (it IS Monday, right?)
On the day this was posted, a tragic accident occurred on Mt. Hood. A well-known and beloved oncologist was mountain climbing and a rock hit his head, and he fell and died.
@ Oh no a bummer... Well like they say: don't get to comfortable the ride may be over at any moment.
Life it's a temporary situation.
