We're so excited about the Icelandic Phallological Museum that we are almost unable to get the words out fast enough:
Reuters has the story of Sigurdur Hjartarson, curator to his own
collection, which began in 1974 with a single bull's penis that looked something like a riding crop, [and] now boasts 261 preserved members from 90 species. The largest, from a sperm whale, is 70 kg (154 lb) and 1.7 meters (5.58 ft) long. The smallest, a hamster penis bone, is just 2 mm and must be viewed through a magnifying glass.
Although there are no human boners in this museum, Ol' Siggy told the media he has been contacted by a Briton, an American, a German, and an Icelander about donating their penises... when those men are deceased, of course. (We're tempted to make a joke in the "two rabbis walk into a bar" vein, but this too shall pass. We'll simply add that we wonder if those phone calls Sig received about the penis donation were not made by a couple of barely-not snickering teenagers boasting of their "sizeable donations.")
The American, 52-year-old Stan Underwood, supplied a written description of his penis -- which he purportedly nick-named "Elmo" -- for display alongside a life-size plastic mould of the member as well as his pledge to donate it.
Ewwwww... that's one Elmo we don't want to tickle.
Seriously, their website is unebeliveably rich in comic material and the rest of the Reuters story is delicious entertainment. Field trip, anyone?
