Meanwhile, Did you know that.....

The penis of a blue whale is 2.8 meters long. When it ejaculates, it releases 1,800 liters of semen. It only takes 200 liters to impregnate the female. When you take a few sips of water on the beach, remember where the remaining 1,600 liters are.

Finally Have You Heard of The Icelandic Phallological Museum (Icelandic: Hið íslenzka reðasafn [ˈhɪːð ˈistlɛnska ˈrɛːðaˌsapn̥]), located in Reykjavík, Iceland?

It houses the world's largest display of penises and penile parts. As of early 2020 the museum moved to a new location in Hafnartorg, three times the size of the previous one, and the collection holds well over 300 penises from more than 100 species of mammal. The museum also holds 22 imagined penises from creatures and peoples of Icelandic folklore.

In July 2011, the museum obtained its first human penis, one of many promised by would-be donors. Its detachment from the donor's body did not go according to plan and it was reduced to a greyish-brown shriveled mass that was pickled in a jar of formalin. The museum continues to search for "a younger and a bigger and better one." In the meantime, they have begun exhibiting a cast of Matt Barr of Great Britain who has "the longest urinary measurement ever recorded and...the longest and girthiest phallus, of any man alive today.
