Origin:

The Living Brain was designed by I.C.M. (International Computing Machines) to be the greatest mechanical brain ever built. Relying on its vast storehouse of knowledge, it could answer almost any question. Believing that The Living Brain could help them pick horse racing winners, two would-be thieves caused a short-circuit which caused the Brain to go on a rampage around Midtown High School whirling its arms destructively.
