What a Dick

Russia's very first museum devoted entirely to erotica was founded, aptly perhaps, by a physician at the Prostate Center of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, reports Pravda. Dr. Igor Knyazkin's museum in St. Petersburg sports more than 15,000 items and, to distinguish itself from other such museums in Asia, Europe, and the US, St. Pete will feature something rather mad.

Petersburg's museum plans to exhibit a rather unique item--Grigory Rasputin's penis. "Having such unique item on display, we can stop envying  America that treasures Napoleon Bonaparte's reproductive organ," states Igor Knyazkin. "In 1970s, Napoleon's genitals have been sold to an American urologist at an auction for $4,000 USD. Napoleon's private part however is just a mere pod in comparison to our 30-centimeter long organ."

However, at the odd Website anotheramerica.org, it's said that "We've lost track of Rasputin's privates."

Rasputin lost track of them when he was beaten, stabbed, shot, strangled and castrated, shortly before his death by drowning in the river Neva. His maid was said to have found it while cleaning up the apartment, after the murder.  In Paris of the 1920s a cult of Russian women were said to worship an object believed to be the  organ in question.  This object was later acquired by his only surviving child,  Marie Rasputin.  Upon acquiring it she was inspired to become a ventriloquist and later became a celebrated animal trainer.  She traveled to South America and joined a Circus in Buenos Ares. She  wrote a book with the assistance of Dr. Roberta Ripple attempting to mitigate the abuse history had bestowed upon her father's memory and member.  Marie died in California in 1977, somewhat short of her ambition.  A storage locker containing items belonging to the subsequently deceased Dr. Ripple was purchased by a Michael Augustine of Northern California. A black wizened object was found in a velvet pouch. Marie's manuscript and the wizened object were sold at Bonham's auction in 1994, in London for three hundred and fifty pounds, to a person or persons unknown. The missing member was last seen, held aloft, at a press conference at the auction house.  It was displayed by  Victoria Blakely-Porter who. of the two, is the only one who fielded questions.
