Michael Jackson will be buried this week… without his brain. As his family tries to finalise details for the King of Pop’s funeral on Tuesday they have been told it will be held back for tests.

They faced the grim choice of waiting up to three weeks for Jackson’s brain to be returned to them or go ahead and bury him without it – which they have decided to do.

Los Angeles Coroner’s spokesman Craig Harvey confirmed that neuropathology tests will be carried out to see if it holds any clues to the exact cause of his death.

But the examination cannot begin until at least two weeks after the death, when the brain has hardened sufficiently to slice it open.

I served during the time, and it made a lasting impact on me.

We Remember

The Game is an ongoing mind game, the objective of which is to avoid thinking about The Game itself. Thinking about The Game constitutes a loss, which, according to the rules of The Game, must then be announced. The Game is continuous, and once a player stops thinking about The Game, the player stops losing. However, while (at any given time) one can be winning The Game (by not thinking about it), one can never actually win The Game (subject to certain variations of the rules being used ).

As I write this, I am losing, and now you are too! Announce your loss, now!

Damn. I lost The Game, Again!
