Phineas lived twelve years after a large iron rod went into his skull under his left eye and came out the top of his head. I can remember seeing the illustration in Ripley's Believe it or Not, one of the five books I obsessively reread for years in my childhood. Unfortunately Phineas resides *not* at MGH, as I thought, but at the Harvard Medical School. So Phineas would have to wait for another day.
But we *did* find the 2500 year-old Theban mummy, Padihershef, who has resided at Mass General since 1823, and is often thought to be the first mummy to be exhibited on American soil.
A comely lad: one of the beautiful people.
These lads were impressed.
