What’s more than 4 feet (1.4m) long, leathery, curves to a point and is worth $4000?
That’s right, a fossilized walrus penis!
The 12,000 year-old item recently sold at auction for $4 grand and the winning bidder was the folks from Ripleys Believe It Or Not Museum.
Fox News reported on the penis (known as a bacula) a couple of days ago.
As for the walrus item, many mammals have bacula. In Alaska, they’re called “oosiks,” polished and used as knife handles sold to tourists. This particular baculum was found preserved in permafrost in northern Siberia by prospectors looking for mammoth tusks.

Mostly, they attract men, said Levi Morgan, a spokesman for the Bonhams & Butterfields auction house.
“We call them big boys’ toys,” he said, but because of the prices, “these are not to be played with by children.”
I’m not sure what to think about this. Vulva perfume is, well, the smell of cunt in a bottle, apparently. I think it’s artificially created (although I’m not sure) and the company is saying that when applied in small amounts to the back of your hand it “intensifies your erotic fantasies and starts the film rolling in your head.”
I suspect this is a product meant for men, because we women don’t need artificial pussy smell, but it raises all sorts of questions like:
* Exactly what does a vulva smell like? I would think that every woman would have her own individual smell, so how did they decide on an official version?
* What ingredients go into artificial pussy smell?
* What kind of person will buy this?
* Are they bringing out a “Penis” perfume in the future?
At least they used the proper term (vulva instead of vagina - a pet hate of mine) although now I’m wondering if it’s a bad thing to have a commercial product associated with the word.
There’s also a fairly creepy video on the site featuring stick-thin, silicon models in high heels posing while a fully-clothed Hef-type sniffs his hand. Ew.
A man being investigated for beating up his mother (a judge) got himself into further trouble by flashing the crime reporter as she filmed in his front yard.
According to police investigators, Judge Lisa Richette, 79, was assaulted on Tuesday by her son, 48-year-old Lawrence Richette, in some sort of domestic dispute….
On Wednesday afternoon, when a WCAU-TV camera crew and female reporter visited Lawrence Richette’s home, he opened the door in his bathrobe. Then he opened his bathrobe.
“That’s what I think of TV news,” he said.
He’s due to be charged with indecent exposure. I think the lesson here is: flashing is not the best way to get rid of a reporter, and you’ll end up all over the blogosphere. Forever.
Are you shagging in an environmentally sensitive manner? What? You mean you’ve never given it a second thought?
Well, a site called Tree Hugger is here to help. They’ve released a special guide called How To Green Your Sex Life.
You’ll be pleased to know that you can buy organic massage oils, Eco-Undies and green lube, meaning that even the odd spot of rumpy-pumpy can have sound environmental credentials.
This is Italian Sabrina Salermo singing her 1987 hit Boys Boys Boys (Summertime Love). I hated this song when it came out, but I had cause to watch the entire video the other night thanks to the constant gratuitous nip-slippery.
I mean, have you ever seen anything else like it? Her boobs are popping out throughout most of the song. And the woman in the wet t-shirt at the start looks like she’s got nothing on underneath.
A man who got tired of waiting for a sex change took matters into his own hands by castrating himself at home.
After reading instructions from a website, the 42 year old waited until his wife went to work and then took to his genitals with a kitchen knife in the toilet, disposing of his bits into the bin when it was done. He then drove himself to the hospital.
Howard, who wants to be known as Holli, said: “It was very painful, but the moment I cut them off I felt all woman.
“I’m the sort of guy who, when I make up my mind to do something, wants it done there and then. I didn’t want to be a man any more so I decided to do it myself.
“The worst bit was steeling myself for the first cut. The whole thing took six minutes. It was agony, but I knew I couldn’t stop.”

I’m not sure what to think about this. 
This is the kind of story that just makes a sub-editor’s day. Headline writer’s heaven.
