and now, the penis

There were just too many penis news items in my tabs not to share them with you. It’s like, dick weekend or something.

* UK Men: Written Consent for Sperm Use After Death (carnalnation.com) Or, how to have a dead guy’s baby. Really.

* The Semen Survey, Part I (carnalnation.com) This is a fun article, based on a small but entertaining survey. Includes “The Effect of Bad Tasting Sperm on Relationships.”

* Man’s penis gets stuck in a pipe (thesun.co.uk). *Seven* firefighters. Half an hour. Unlike me, you don’t have the delight of having this Friday news item read aloud to you in bed by a Londoner. My scars are on the inside, while Mr. Free Willy’s are probably not.

* ‘Crime lord’s’ fake penis falls off in raid (heraldsun.com.au) The hint of a very interesting story about an apparently intersex crime lord, who packed a strap-on to complete his gender identity. Uneducated (read: inaccurate, insensitive) language but more about “Fat Murphy” here. (timeslive.co.za)

* Ran across this older item: Man Sues After Penis Removed During Surgery (thesun.co.uk) Yikes.

* Man with World’s Largest Penis Can’t Find Work (huffingtonpost.com) Wow, times are really tough if this is true. There’s a HuffPo joke in there somewhere.
