You Need A Better Hobby

In Iceland, Sigurdur Hjartarson is looking for a human penis. I realize how that sounds, but the truth is even stranger. Hjartarson is founder and owner of the Icelandic Phallological Museum, which offers visitors from around the world a up look at the male reproductive organ. He began his collection back in 1974 with a single bull's penis, and now has 261 preserved members from 90 species. I guess they are not into stamp collecting in Iceland? The largest in the collection, is from a sperm whale (pardon the pun). It weighs about 154 pounds and is 5.58 feet long. To complete his collection, Hjartarson needs a Human penis. Hjartarson said one of his pledged donors has backed out. "He has mentioned lately that his penis is shrinking as he gets older and he is worried it might not make a proper exhibit," Hjartarson said. Not to worry there are three other pledged donors lined up to fill the spot. I just hope that they keep the temperature warm in the museum.
