Rasputin's penis to be sex museum's star attraction
Russia's first museum of erotica is to open in St Petersburg - with Rasputin's penis reputedly among the exhibits.
Museum founder Igor Knyazkin says the 12ins organ will be the star attraction, reports Russian daily Nezavisimaya Gazeta.
Mr Knyazkin, who is also the chief of the prostate research centre of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, said he was particularly proud of the pickled penis.
He said: "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 centimetres."
Pickle jar.
OK, Folks...Old Cold War joke, for those too young or too fortunate not to have heard it when it was current:
In what it considered to be a great propaganda coupe, the USSR placed an order with Young's Rubber Company for a million condoms, 8" in circumference, and 12" long.
Baffled, Management called the various security agencies on how to handle the order.
At the CIA's suggestion, the order was filled and shipped, and all the items stamped "MEDIUM" in large letters....
