{Well, I suppose if they can save Hitler's Brain... among other things... heck... my Boyfriend gets irritated when I save plastic bags...}
Russia's first Museum of Erotica claims to have Rasputin's pickled... um... how shall we say... ah ~ "private member". And I quote:
"Having this exhibit, we can stop envying America, where Napoleon Bonaparte's penis is now kept. Napoleon's penis is but a small pod - it cannot stand comparison to our organ of 30 centimetres."
So says the museum's founder, Igor Knyazkin, who is also the chief of the prostate research centre of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences. I'm inclined to think he meant that {if you'll forgive the expression} tongue~in~cheek...
...still, I just can't help thinking, isn't that just like a man! Surely, it's supposed to be what you do with it that counts?
I mean really, if you had to choose... would you want the penis that conquered and ruled over much of western and central Europe, or the penis that played a small but extremely pivotal role in the downfall of the Romanov dynasty that finally led to Bolshevik victory and the establishment of the Soviet Union?
Many a sleepless night in store for me as I mull that over...
