Elwan Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 In 1945 part of Mussolini's brain was sent to America. It was studied to see if there was a disease that had damaged his reasoning and was the reason for his actions. They soon determined that his brain had no disease. Mussolini's wife wanted her husband's brain back and eventually in 1966 she got her wish. She was quite upset to discover that his name was spelled wrong on the box. The man who misspelled Mussolini's name on that box was my Grandfather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifrein Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Well that's cool, in its own way. I can't rightly be happy about bad spelling or grammar, but it's a fun bit of history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elwan Posted June 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 @Fifrein For a brief moment your comment made me think I screwed up. *facepalm* @Legate Yep! I still occasionally ask him "How do you spell Mussolini?" and then he laughs a little. Yeah, it's just a little story I felt sharing. I'm the only history buff I know and I thought someone might enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
