* As of May 1999, the city-supported Icelandic Phallological

Museum in Reykjavik was closing in on its goal of housing at least

one sample penis from every mammal native to Iceland. Only

"man" and one species of whale were missing, and curator

Sigurdur Hjartarson had solved the first problem with a letter from

an 83-year-old former Lothario promising his organ upon his death

(in an erect state if doctors can act quickly enough). Some whale

species, though, have only the tips displayed because the entire

organs are too long (10 feet) or too heavy (over 100 pounds).
