A Mistake in 303? (spoilers)
Ok so Sammun-mak's brain was preserved and that is why most of the episode plays out. But the Egyptains considered the brain the most useless organ in the body (they believed the Heart was the seat of knowledge) and after using a tool (like the brain screw) to remove one from a soon to be mummified corpse they threw it out. So how could Sammun-mak know he would need his brain and how did the moles knew to take it out?
Also where was that cool scene from 301 (I'm not gonna rest until I find the guy who killed my partner!)?

Also consider that they were likely brainwashed as well, so they would not have disobeyed despite religion or tradition.
I do believe your suspension of disbelief needs servicing.
Edit: Slow posting.
Didn't he state that that (pickle juice and crocodile tears) was joke and that the gift kept his brain alive?
From the sound of it, the mole people were the rebels in the affair as well as food sometimes.
Yes, but they likely still would have thrown out the brain if he hadn't given them specific instructions for it. Foresight or not, that probably saved him :rolleyes:
I know. Now I'm even more confused
AHHHH! Giant Talking Dog!
...I'm going to put my money on, "Innnnnnnnn The Fuuuuutuuuuuuure!..."; since that scene came from the Eyes of Yog Soggoth...
No matter how wild a story is it should still make sense. That being said, there is no mistake here. As flyingman said, it's quite plausible that they saw the brain as the root of psychic power.
See, all it takes is a little imagination to fill in the gaps.
