Date Night!: Icelandic Phallological Museum Is A Standup Place

If you’re anything like us, you’re probably starting to plan your annual summer trip to Iceland (Reykjavik ‘08, baby!). Why not take a break from stuffing your face with Þorramatur and stuff it instead with penis… knowledge. You probably don’t know dick about cock until you visit Iceland’s Phallological Museum, a collection of phallic paraphernalia organized by Sigurdur Hjartarson. Plus, this might be the only museum where you can leave a souvenir:

His collection, which began in 1974 with a single bull’s penis that looked something like a riding crop, 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 [Ed. note: Oh, hello!]. The smallest, a hamster penis bone, is just 2 mm and must be viewed through a magnifying glass.

One species conspicuous by its absence is homo sapiens, but that may soon be rectified since a German, an American, an Icelander and a Briton have promised to donate their organs after death, according to certificates on display.

Hehe. “Rectified.” So, who’s up for visiting this museum with us?
