Already been done. There's even a well-known movie scene about the
episode.

Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: [to Igor] Now that brain that you gave me.
Was it Hans Delbruck's?
Igor: [pause, then] No.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Ah! Very good. Would you mind telling me
whose brain I DID put in?
Igor: Then you won't be angry?
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: I will NOT be angry.
Igor: Abby Someone.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: [pause, then] Abby Someone. Abby who?
Igor: Abby Normal.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: [pause, then] Abby Normal?
Igor: I'm almost sure that was the name.

The point being -in both cases: you can't harvest something that isn't
there.

You owe me two things...

1) a clean monitor...there is coffee and german chocolate cake all
over it now. I wont ask you to clean the sinuses out...

2) a new (digital) sarcasm meter.

When it exploded is when the monitor issue came up...bit of a shame
really, it was a vintage Marshall tube driven stand alone sarcasm
meter.

So if his skull were to accidentally crack open one would hear a loud
POP as the air rushes in, so as to fill a massive vacume? That would
explain much...
