Where do space monkeys go when they die?

To the Smithsonian of course, which holds the skeletons of two monkeys who were flown into space in the early days of the space program.

The Washington Post has an article about famous body parts that are kept in DC area museums. Eisenhower's gallstones, Grant's tumor, the vertebrae of John Wilkes Booth, the Lyon quintupelets .... I am pleased that the space monkeys are mentioned along with our former presidents.

The legend of John Dillinger's amputated penis is also described .
