Here's an interesting tidbit you probably have yet to hear --Michael Jackson's brain is sitting in a jar in some lab somewhere.

Yup, the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office says it's holding onto a section of MJ's thinking machine in hopes of using it to help determine what caused the King of Pop's death.

The toxicology tests are still being done, and a spokesman for the coroner says that pathologists need to wait for the brain to harden before they can do the tests they need to do. 

Yum.

It is also being speculated that this is why Michael has yet to be buried -- his family may want the part of the brain replaced before laying Michael to rest.

You know, just in case he'll want to come up with some new songs while dead.
