Mad monk's member features big in Russian erotica museum

SAINT PETERSBURG, Russia (AFP) - In a more innocent age, it was said that Gregory Efimovich Rasputin's legendary power over women was due to his piercing eyes.

But a new museum of erotica here suggests that the mad monk's charm may instead have been, ahem, concealed beneath his cassock.

Measuring 28.5 centimeters (about 11 inches) -- allowing for shrinkage caused by pickling -- Rasputin's penis displayed in a tall glass bottle is, to put it delicately, a big attraction at the museum.

Director Igor Knyazkin said he bought the object from a French antiquitarian for 8,000 dollars (6,600 euros), along with several of Rasputin's hand-written letters.

And very disgusting.

That thing is as big as that lady's forearm!

She's going to be smuggling that thing home.

Guy musta had horse genes !

:headbang:

how and why did his d*** get preserved?

and wonder if he was more of a shower or grower? heh. frightening huh? though i guess that depends who you ask. ;-)

that whoever shot, stabbed, burned, stoned, ran over, shot again, poisoned, and then threw him in the river took something to prove he was dead.

The penis would be a weird choice though.

Rasputin was pretty beaten up and burned by the time they finally killed him. He was hard to kill.

This was long before the days of computers and spam, so we know that he couldn't have used one of those miraculous penile enlargement methods I am always finding in my email inbox.

...Maybe Rasputin was too many syllables for them :shrug:

he'd have been intact. Not circumcised. And that penis is either circed, or the foreskin has permanently stayed retracted. And that just doesn't happen. Nope.

It looks like a small ARM with a glans on the end. And what's all that at the top?

in the words of Tennessee Williams (but he was talking about Frank Merlo's unit)

of Pickled peckers...
No freakin' wonder he was long-dongin' the Tsar!

Now if the Dauphin's heart could shrink to the size of a pecan in the pickle....

OK, so WHO was Ron Jeremy's grand-daddy?
