Rasputin’s Penis, Redux
For reasons that surpass human understanding, I’ve twice now blogged photographs of what is supposed to be Rasputin’s severed penis, preserved in a jar: once, twice.
Why (oh, ye gods of Olympus, why?) am I doing it again? Because it’s a very famous (and famously active, in its day) penis. And, more simply, because it’s there. Specifically, it’s there at urod.ru — scroll down at your own peril, you’ll find an absolutely huge closeup of the jar and detached (pickled) manhood, in living (dead?) color.
I’m about to link to a much-reduced — but still very graphic — copy of the photo, as a hedge against future link rot. Don’t blame me if you decide to look.
It’s grisly. Seriously.

Out of curiosity, what’s the hole/dent in the top from/for?
You people need to leave my poor Uncle Ras’ penis alone!
does anyone else find it strange that the first thing that came to mind was “i wonder what the heck it’s preserved in…”
Probably a formaldehyde solution, if you must know.
Oh, and no. That’s just how the mind works sometimes ;)
Wow. All I can say is wow.
I’m with Bons. What is that hole? Why did they save the peen? It’s still got the hair on it. Creepy.
But WHY????
Who cares about the penis?! That woman looking at is GORGEOUS!!!
Yes, the hair is what creeps me out somehow.
There’s a penis museum in Iceland, and another about to open in Canada. The first HUMAN specimen is a well known penis that actually has a name: ELMO. Elmo-The-Penis is a large American penis complete with testicles, donated while living, for the purpose of plastinating and displaying in the museum.
