Iceland's Penis Museum Finally Gets Human Specimen
(Well, it's about damn time!)
LONDON (AP) - In life, Pall Arason was an attention-seeker. In death, the 95-year-old Icelander's pickled penis will be the main attraction at one of the world's most bizarre museums.
Sigurdur Hjartarson, who runs the Phallological Museum in the tiny Icelandic fishing town of Husavik, says Arason's organ will help complete his extensive collection of whale, seal, bear, and other mammalian members.
The museum has been open since 1997 but Hjartarson has long waited for a human specimen to round out his display.
Hjartarson says that Arason, a friend, agreed to help by having his penis donated after his death.
The medical director of Akureyri Hospital said Tuesday that the operation was carried out in January under the supervision of a doctor at a local morgue.
Okay, bravo for having the museum. Fascinating, subtly seductive, cool, hip and forward thinking. I would totally spend hours perusing. But, I'm sorry, a 95-year-old Icelander's pickled penis??? The combination of being so riveted to that freaking jar that I couldn't possibly look away if I wanted to, mixed with the desperate need to run screaming from the building, might actually be the thing to finally cause my spontaneous combustion.

A friend is going to be in that town and is excited about going to the penis museum in a month. Hopefully they will not display the man penis next to a whale penis, because no matter how big this man pickle penis is, it still going to look small next to the whale.
