			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I need to share some other braintastic stuff I&#8217;ve come across recently. First, there&#8217;s the <a href="http://harbaugh.uoregon.edu/Brain/index.htm">Museum of Scientifically Accurate Fabric Brain Art</a> in Oregon. Its images stimulate my crafty nerd synapses and make me squee! My favorite is the Knitted Brain, which took one year for Dr. Karen Norberg to knit. There&#8217;s an article about her project <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/4245919/Psychiatrist-knits-anatomically-correct-woolly-brain.html">here</a>. It reminds me of the<a href="http://www.innergeek.us/blog/index.php/2009/01/knit-your-own-digestive-tract/"> knitted digestive tract</a> I came across last year but looks a lot more labor-intensive.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="knitted brain" src="http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01239/norberg_brain2_1239532a.jpg" alt="knitted brain" width="460" height="288" /></p>
<p>And then there&#8217;s the recipe for <a href="http://notsohumblepie.blogspot.com/2009/12/chocolate-ganache-filled-brain-cupcakes.html">chocolate ganache-filed brain cupcakes</a> by <a href="http://notsohumblepie.blogspot.com/">notsohumblepie</a> in Seattle. &#8220;Because it is a well known fact that human brains are filled with chocolate ganache,&#8221; she says. Tee hee! They look delicious, and could be easily translated to a zombie-themed fest if the decorative icing were placed on a red velvet cupcake.</p>

<p>If you are in any way geeky, nerdy, or offbeat, you really need to check out her recipes&#8230; especially the ones labeled <a href="http://notsohumblepie.blogspot.com/search/label/Science">science</a> and <a href="http://notsohumblepie.blogspot.com/search/label/Weird">weird</a>. They&#8217;re all complete with mouthwatering photos. Well, all of the photos are mouthwatering except the <a href="http://notsohumblepie.blogspot.com/2009/11/biology-cookies-petri-dish.html">petri dish cookies</a>. Having been a biology major at one point in my life, and having a vivid smell memory of petri dishes in the lab, the execution of her design with all their isolated colonies kinda makes me want to hurl. But you go ahead and enjoy!</p>
