BrainBank: Alas, Poor Tchaikowsky! I Knew Him Edition

Here's your dose of random trivia for the day. Apparently a pianist named Andre Tchaikosky donated his skull to the Royal Shakespeare Company some few decades ago, desiring to appear as skull of Yorick in Hamlet.

The actors actually practiced with Tchaikosky's skull, although the actors were as a whole too uneasy to use it in any actual production.

The actor playing the gravedigger was all for it, though, which was pretty cool.
