> [@uglybeech](#): > > Boy, Marge, you’re inner spelling-Nazi’s really up in arms today. I initially thought this too until I re-read the OP and realized it explicitly stated that they were aware of the condition of the post, knew there was some easy way to correct it, and yet did not feel the slightest compunction to make an effort to submit readable material. Hell it took more time to type the disclaimer than it would have to correct it. 😕 ---

Ok, finally saw what all the fuss is about. The picture I saw looks like a penis about ten inches long, in the “fully extended but not completely hard” stage, being held down to look like it’s slack; with the guy’s arm misleadingly positioned to make it look bigger by comparison. Sort of like how you can make a fish look a lot bigger in a photo than it really is. ---

I’m guessing that I’m probably the only one who thinks the thread title reads like a pornographic version of Coleman Francis’ narration for his film _The Beast of Yucca Flats_. _“Flag on the moon? How’d it get there?”_ ---

I have neither Googled “big dick” nor clicked on any of the pictures linked :rolleyes: , but isn’t it possible for elephantitis to enlarge one’s genetilia to gigantic proportions? ---

Sort of like how you can make a fish look a lot bigger in a photo than it really is. Use Google images search for “Johan Falcon” and click on the third picture. Scroll down to the bottom and there are 3-4 pictures that show that his size isn’t an illusion. His penis looks very odd but it certainly is big. Not grotesquely huge but definately a massive dong. ---

Read the Daze Reader article. Sounds like the guy is a complete prick who deserves whatever hard times life sees fit to dish out. ---

I recall, many, many years ago in my youth, coming across a picture in, I think, Hustler, which showed a tall skinny Maisai-looking African gentleman wearing a short cape and leaning on a spear. His penis hung down to his knees _and was tied in a loose knot_ :eek: , presumably to keep it from dangling even lower. I have never been able to decide if the picture was a fake or not. (Obviously it made a lasting impression on my innocent young mind!) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/giant-penis-howd-it-get-so-big/321940.md?page=1)
