Spring break vacay, anyone? Cancun is so mid-’90s.
The Icelandic Phallological Museum contains a collection of two hundred and nine penises and penile parts belonging to almost all the land and sea mammals that can be found in Iceland… It should be noted that the museum has also been fortunate enough to receive legally-certified gift tokens for four specimens belonging to Homo Sapiens. Besides there are some twenty-three folklore specimens and forty foreign ones. Altogether the collection contains 272 specimens from 92 different species of animals.
Whoa whoa. Back up.
“Legally-certified gift tokens”? Does that mean… if these poor suckers don’t give up their peckers when they die, their families are somehow legally responsible? I’d love to be a juror on that case.
UPDATE: I see one of the donators donated his testicles. Well. I guess that’s about as legally-certified as you can get.
Also, “twenty-three folklore specimens”? Yes. According to the website they have penises from an Icelandic elf, a troll, a merman, and, of course, no imaginary penis collection would be complete without the Corpse-Eating Cat of Thingmuli:
Shrunk testicles from the ill-famed cat that used to dig itself into the churchyard of Thingmuli in East-Iceland and eat corpses during the first half of the 19th century. The eye glances of this cat were fatal to all creatures.
Do you think they have a gift shop? Because then I definitely have to go.
