Odd find at the British Museum

Meaning that I found something odd, that tickled me, while looking through their website.

penis ensues

I had to share.

I can just hear it in the wind now…

Ding…a-ling…

There are things
In your peritoneum
That belong
In the British Museum…

Penis got legs!

That penis has another penis!

Boy they let it all hang out, didn’t they?

Penis got penis, too. At least, I think that’s what the thing under the main phallus, between the legs, is.

Recursivity In Penii: A Study of Ensuance

Lots of dingle attached to the dangle.

They say the wings and feet on the penis add to its protective powers. That may be true, but I suspect they have a negative effect on its procreative powers.

Length: 13.5 cm

Pity.

but the ad said, “Winged for her pleasure!”

This was also fairly common in the medieval Netherlands, apparently - these are all, AFAIK, based on medieval finds. I can certainly vouch for the flying penis and the penis tree, I’ve seen originals in museums.

Was it on loan from this museum?

Now I know the meaning of that old saying “Pull the other one, it’s got bells on.”!

It used to be, when I pictured ancient Rome, that I saw men in togas or centurions all decked out, strutting around and making history.

After doing more reading (and watching HBO’s Rome, I must admit), I now picture Rome as absolutely covered in penises. And graffiti about where to find a good whorehouse. But mostly penises. An endless parade: dick after johnson after schlong after bunnywhacker. Penis, penis, penis.

Hilarious - it’s blocked at work. Not the whole site, just whatever antiquity it was that showed something rude. Those WebSense people got too much time on their hands. And their morals are WAY too American.

In Soviet Russian Museum, winged phallic wind chime finds you.

Ah, you’ve been to the Hermitage too, then.

I wonder if it’s John Dillinger’s.
