Iceland's Penis Museum Gets First Human Specimen. Wait. What?

Huffingtonpost

LONDON -- In life, Pall Arason was an attention-seeker. In death, the 95-year-old Icelander's pickled penis will be the main attraction at one of the world's most bizarre museums. Sigurdur Hjartarson, who runs the Phallological Museum in the tiny Icelandic fishing town of Husavik, says Arason's organ will help complete his extensive collection of whale, seal, bear, and other mammalian members. The museum has been open since 1997 but Hjartarson has long waited for a human specimen to round out his display. Hjartarson says that Arason, a friend, agreed to help by having his penis donated after his death. The medical director of Akureyri Hospital said Tuesday that the operation was carried out in January under the supervision of a doctor at a local morgue.

Dude, wtf is a pickled penis?  Is that exactly how it sounds?  Just a dudes 95 year-old's shriveled up hog floating around in a glass jar?   Why is this the main attraction?  The last thing any dude or chick wants to see is this ancient Icelanders little mushroom tip bobbing in liquid like a lobster buoy floating around in Buzzards Bay.

I wonder if Gunner Stahl has been to the penis museum...
