OMG! A โseminal event?โ A bill pizzle? A Wang dynasty?
โThe gift of a bull pizzle to Sigurdur Hjartarson in 1974 was the seminal event of a multi-generational Icelandic wang dynasty. Hjartarsonโs cock collection grew impressively in size, climaxing with the 1997 consummation of the Icelandic Phallological Museum. Curation was taken over by the fruit of his loins, his son Hjรถrtur Gรญsli Sigurรฐsson, in 2011, the same year the museum moved from the northern fishing town of Hรบsavรญk to the capital Reykjavรญk, and made news for the acquisition of its first human specimen. Coincidence?โ
From google: "Beef pizzle refers to the penis of a bull, and is widely used as a chew stick for dogs. Being rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, it is also believed to benefit human health in many ways. It is cooked with added flavors for human consumption or it is dried, stretched and cut into pieces for canine chew sticks."
OMG. I was in Reykjavik last May!!!! I could have gone with my traveling companion to see this marvel. It would have been most...um....educational.
Added something to the bucket list, did you?
