Astronomers determine it to be Bush's brain.
In an interesting twist, a Chemist discovers that Napoleon's wallpaper was indeed green, and therefore, "Nappy" may have been poisoned by it:

This adds another piece of Napoleon trivia to my internal file, which consists of:
Strange Things I Know About Napoleon*
He was obsessed with his maid's breasts.
He named Pumpernickel bread for his horse ("Pahn por Nickel")
He may have died a virgin.
When he died, he showed signs of a sickness that affected his body's ability to utilise testosterone (He was hairless, and had developed rounded breasts like a woman.)
Until very recently, I thought that the British had poisoned him.
His penis was removed post-mortem and saved in a bottle by his manservant who described it as a "like a little seahorse."
*Of course, I can't vouch for the truthfulness of these little bits of trivia. They could be complete lies. I'd have to do the research to find out for sure, and well, I don't want to do the research right now. So, "YMMV."
