Then the clever bit. This is where having a professor-sized brain really pays off, I would have given the fridge salesman a tenner to pass me a fake receipt for the fridge, for 14 grand.
Hey presto, the frozen brain gets to spain, and the professor makes 13.5 grand profit. Thats what I call professoring.
then you could write it up into a thesis like this
'The brain in Spain , comes mainly on the plane'

Easyjet 'threatened to derail stem cell transplant'
Easyjet 'threatened to derail stem cell transplant'
staff from the budget airline allegedly refused to allow the package on board claiming that because it contained more than 100ml of fluid it "posed a security risk".
The cells, which took five months to grow, had to arrive in Barcelona within 16 hours of their removal from the Bristol lab before becoming unusable.
.....
The professor paid the 14,000 pounds it cost to charter a private jet out of his own pocket, though the cost was later reimbursed by Bristol University.
A spokesman for easyJet said: "We do not have any record of the passenger's request to carry medical materials on board the flight.
"However as a gesture of goodwill easyJet has refunded the passenger for the cost of his flight."
