A 95-year-old Icelander has left his penis to one of the world's strangest museums. The late Pall Arason's pickled member will be the main attraction at the Phallological Museum in the tiny fishing town of Husavik. "I have just been waiting for this guy for 15 years," he said. Sigurdur Hjartarson, who runs it, said the organ will help round out his extensive collection of phalluses from whales, seals, bears and other mammals.
The Phallological Museum is an important part of the region's tourist industry, bringing in thousands of visitors every summer. Highlights of the museum's collection include a 170-centimeter (67-inch) sperm whale penis preserved in formaldehyde, lampshades made from bull testicles and what the museum described as an "unusually big" penis bone from a Canadian walrus.
Mr Hjartarson, 69, said his interest in what he calls "phallology" began when, as a youngster in rural Iceland, he was given a whip made from a bull's penis to help him herd cattle. Later, when he worked at a school near a whaling station, colleagues brought him whale penises as gifts.

Not sure what comment to make on this one Marek, so perhaps it's safest to make none.
Where do you search for these types of stories ? Sounds like Willy-Wonka's Museum.

I try to balance my love of politics with my warped sense of humour. As I require very little sleep I search the worlds press for unusual titbits or in this case male bits. I was going to add their are a few big p***ks on the forum that could offer their body parts to the museum...but restrained myself from naming them.

Love to Jean.

You have a great sense of humour Marek and some very sound arguments in your postings (apart from politics of course).
Thanks for your good wishes for Jean, she has been very poorly since last Friday, but is now getting better.
Keep well - love to everyone.

Politics are like religion, we both may take different socialist or tory paths but we are trying to reach heaven by helping our fellow man (for the PC brigade) and woman and securing a better,safer and peaceful future for all.

Napoleon's 'thingy' crops up at Auctions from time to time, in it's own little velvet-lined box.

What sort of heaven would it be if you did not have a need of it there?
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.

A good place for these sorts of stories is on the "Odds 'n Sods" section of The Register - which can be found here

Good point Chris, the Muslim martyrs believe they will each enjoy the company of 76 virgins when they get to Heaven. Rumour has it that they have introduced strict laws on the recycling of virgins in Heaven because of excessive demand.
