Yay! Iceland's Penis Museum gets a human speciman
Iceland's penis museum finally gets human specimen

By RAPHAEL G. SATTER, Associated Press Raphael G. Satter, Associated Press – 1 hr 48 mins ago

LONDON – In life, Pall Arason sought attention. In death, he is getting it: The 95-year-old Icelander's pickled penis will be the main attraction in one of his country's most bizarre museums.

Sigurdur Hjartarson, who runs the Phallological Museum in the tiny Icelandic fishing town of Husavik, said Arason's organ will help round out the unusual institution's extensive collection of phalluses from whales, seals, bears and other mammals.

Several people had pledged their penises over the years — including an American, a Briton, and a German — but Arason's was the first to be successfully donated, Hjartarson said.

"I have just been waiting for this guy for 15 years," he told The Associated Press in a brief telephone interview.

10. Those engineers are actually discussing an oversight in their engineering...
they calculated for length and girth, but failed to calculate for the massive weight when designing the slab.
