And Now... Henry VIII's suit of armour!

You can actually buy full size replicas of the codpiece at the Tower of London.

I've seen it.

Ok, the first time I saw it, I busted out laughing at the codpiece. I figured that I had to photograph it. This poses a problem. One, the lighting in the tower stinks on ice, and two, I didn't want to pop my flash because of the glass. So, I opened up the aperture as far as it would go, and slowed down the shutter speed to 1/4 of a second.

There I am, trying to hold absolutley still, all the while trying to stifle my laughter when I hear a guy behind me say:

"Bloody hell, that's not a codpiece, that's a whalepiece!"

I was practically doubled over with laughter, unable to shoot for at least five minutes.

I need a digital SLR so I can slap polarizing filters for shooting things behind glass.

Not in public!

Lost these many centuries.

Both wishful thinking.

How would anyone even walk in that.

:wow:

My Dad said the same thing when we went to visit the tower!

He turned into a right fat bastard as he grew older.
