Daybreaker: Icelander erects a museum for male members only

Beaumont might be the museum capital of Texas, but here's a museum we don't have.

The Icelandic Phallological Museum is a museum of ... well, how shall we say this ... um, parts. These parts isn't just any old parts. These parts is ... male parts.

Yep, the museum features 261 preserved phalluses from 90 species ... but man is not represented. (Although the museum currently has several proud men willing to donate theirs when they're done with them.) The specimens range from a 154-pound sperm whale penis that's 5.6 feet long to a hamster penis bone that must be viewed through a magnifying glass.

Of the museum's 6,000 visitors every years, curator Sigurdur Hjartarson (pictured with an elephant penis) says 60% are ... women.

This posting would be longer, but it's really not size that matters.

I bet this museum makes male visitors feel inadequate. Just a guess.

Honestly, it wouldn't be hard to see the appeal of this type of museum.

I bet after reading this post a bunch of people will go to great lengths to visit...

I'm betting there will be a shortage of dead guys who will cling to life tooth and nail rather than give up that precious part. Just a guess.
