According to the source in the link, the preserved [penis](http://www.mosnews.com/news/2004/04/28/rasputin.shtml) of Rasputin will soon be on display at a new museum of erotica in St. Petersburg. But that’s not the best part, folks: > [@](#): > > “Having this exhibit, we can stop envying America, where Napoleon Bonaparte’s penis is now kept. … Napoleon’s penis is but a small ”pod“ it cannot stand comparison to our organ of 30 centimeters…” the head of the museum said. ---

In Soviet Russia…naw, too damn easy. Still, it does remind me of Soviet propoganda. Lots of chest thumping over very little. I mean, why is this even newsworthy? :rolleyes: ---

We have Napoleon’s wiener? Just the weiner? Why? Why, by all that’s holy, do we have Napoleon’s weiner? How did we get it, and who figured we needed it? I say bury it with the rest of the jerk. 30 centimeters is about 12 inches, right? No wonder that guy was so popular. ---

Although it might have seemed to some that Rasputin finally bought it at the end of _Hellboy_ (the movie), “The Mad Monk” may be returning for a sequel. After being resurrected once again, Rasputin comes to the conclusion that his last attempt at destroying the world failed due to the absence “Little Grigori”. Learning of Rasputin’s quest to reclaim his manhood, Hellboy must get a hold of it first, and attempt to destroy it. Most likely by crushing it in his red right hand. Anyhoo… ---
