But do they always save a monk’s schwanz? Or is it just because he was so…exceptional? ---

I don’t think it was Catherine’s _mind_ the man had control over… That pic put me in mind of Tommy Lee, for some reason. Well, that and the fervent hope the man was a shower, not a grower… :eek: ---

It was the eyes. Or, more accurately, his personality. The Debauched One was generally unshaved and unwashed. He stank. But his charisma, his sheer force of will was such that make almost anybody do what he wanted. BTW The link repeats a story of Rasputin’s death which is largely thought to be false. Normall, I’d say the display of a dead celebrities genitals is an unforgviable invasion of their privacy. However, in this case, I think Rasputin would approve. ‘Iz wery big, da? Doctor put it out to inspire confidence. But now, you see how tiny you are compared to Rasputin. Let my sacred flesh stand as monument to Rasputin, great hero of Russia!’ ‘You! Da, you with red bracelet! You wonder how it would be to lay with Rasputin? I know you do. You will go home, look at my photograph and pretend you are a nun having sacred orgy with the Mad Monk.’ I believe Grigori’s only complaint would be that the museum has not used modern technology to take a cast of his organ, and sell latex replicas. ---

The measurement allows for _shrinkage_? The length notwithstanding, how big around must it have been at the base? And speaking of the base, is that a bullet hole? ---
