"What's a phallus??"

Apparently it's something as hard as a rock.

Looks like it could be anything....maybe just some lonely archelogists with a vivid imagination.

You mean a Streisand relic?

I've always wondered why it was called the Stone Age.

Seems right up your alley!!

That is exactly what I was going to say when I was preparing a post to theBigB, Martin_fierro, and I kept thinking, what is the name of that guy whose screen name starts with a p, and he's always on these types of threads, LOL!

Now I'll just sit back with a cup of coffee for this thread. :)

PHALLUS 1. a. An image of the male generative organ, symbolizing the generative power in nature, venerated in various religious systems; spec. that carried in solemn procession in the Dionysiac festivals in ancient Greece. In later times commonly worn as an amulet or protection against the evil eye.

b. The male generative organ, often in the context of its symbolical significance; in psychoanalysis, in the context of the pre-genital phase of sexual development.

So "polishing the cane" goes back a long way......

I wonder if anybody ever carried it in their front pocket just so the ladies could say: "Hello big boy. Is that giant stone phallus in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"

Well as I said last week when a different article was posted on this. It just proves that men weren't getting the job done back then either!

Must have been an Architect.

14 pieces reminded me of this:

Isis took the wooden chest back to Egypt and hid it in a secret place. Then she returned to her son in Buto. One day Set, while out hunting by moonlight, discovered the chest, opened it, and cut Osiris' body into 14 pieces, which he scattered throughout the land. The crocodiles would not touch the pieces of Osiris, as they feared Isis. Isis, in a boat made of papyrus reeds, searched the land, and buried each piece of Osiris, and a temple was built by men at each place where a piece of Osiris was buried. And thirteen different cities claimed to be the burial place of Osiris. She finds all pieces except Phallus for which she makes a substitute, and post-mortal son of Osiris, Horus ('the younger'), was born. This one piece had been eaten by a fish in the Nile, which has been accursed ever since. But Osiris entered the Duat, the netherworld, and he rules as its good and just king.

I must have fallen off the darn turnip truck recently. This is a new one on 'ol pissant.

BTW, I'm guessing this thread has a high probability of getting pulled. ;o)
