foeofthelance Posted December 11, 2006 Report Posted December 11, 2006 http://www.mosnews.com/news/2004/04/28/rasputin.shtml There is one exhibit in the museum which makes Knyazkin be especially proud of. This is the 30-centimeter preserved penis of Grigory Rasputin. “Having this exhibit, we can stop envying America, where Napoleon Bonaparte’s penis is now kept. … Napoleon’s penis is but a small ”pod“ it cannot stand comparison to our organ of 30 centimeters…” the head of the museum said Let loose the plot bunnies! Oh good grief. Dungeons and Dragons flashback. Seems that game was good for something...
Guest Big Samurai Posted December 11, 2006 Report Posted December 11, 2006 *facepalm* This might explain why he keeps turning up as a bad guy in every conceivable medium. Hell, if I had that during life, I wouldn't stay dead, either!
Guest Alien Pirate Pixagi Posted December 11, 2006 Report Posted December 11, 2006 -giggles like a 12 year old- Oh my... that's about a foot there... jeeze... That must have hurt...
dazzledfirestar Posted December 13, 2006 Report Posted December 13, 2006 30 cm? hmmm.... well... gee.... Am I the only one thinking that some of the Russian ladies may have seen that as their Everest? Its there, climb it! And just one, quick little question... Is that 30cm originally or post preserving?
StoryJunkie Posted December 13, 2006 Report Posted December 13, 2006 that was my question, but why wasn't it buried with the rest of him? ouch (taken post mortem, I hope!)
Guest Adara Posted December 13, 2006 Report Posted December 13, 2006 What a way to go. Poor guy is what I say. But I guess if he was going around doin' all their women, as he was reputed to be doing, well, can we really blame them? LOL
dazzledfirestar Posted December 13, 2006 Report Posted December 13, 2006 No I don't think we can really blame them... but really! If you can't kill the guy the first time, take it as a sign!
Guest Adara Posted December 13, 2006 Report Posted December 13, 2006 No I don't think we can really blame them... but really! If you can't kill the guy the first time, take it as a sign! I can just imagine the guys trying to kill him: (Err, in Russian of course!) 1st Man: Dude, he's not dying! 2nd Man: I know! Lets cut off his head, that'll do it for sure! 3rd Man: NO. Let us kill what controls our women, for that is where his power lay! All together: HIS MEMBER! 2nd Man: ...and then his head.
dazzledfirestar Posted December 13, 2006 Report Posted December 13, 2006 Oh my... I am sure that's exactly how that conversation went! But how'd they decide who got to do it? Can you just see one of them: "Ooooh! Pick me! I'll do it! Pick me!"
Guest Adara Posted December 14, 2006 Report Posted December 14, 2006 I was thinking more of an axe and a well timed, "Timber!" LOL
dazzledfirestar Posted December 14, 2006 Report Posted December 14, 2006 Isn't that the only way to ummm.... trim the wood
quamp Posted December 14, 2006 Report Posted December 14, 2006 Am I the only one who is reminded of the scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail? "I'm not quite dead yet!" As for the penis thing... meh.
foeofthelance Posted December 14, 2006 Author Report Posted December 14, 2006 Actually, if I remember correctly, Rasputin was first poisoned, then shot, then had his throat slit, then was chucked in a river to drown. And I think the final cause of death was hypothermia or some such. Though they may have decapitated him later, just to be sure. Hmm, Rasputins death is one of the greatest stories I've ever come across.
StoryJunkie Posted December 14, 2006 Report Posted December 14, 2006 Right, then the granddaddy of the museum curator found it in some drawer and..."ew, what the fuck is this? Lets put it in the museum, for surely it is worthy of note!"
dazzledfirestar Posted December 14, 2006 Report Posted December 14, 2006 Well, what else were they going to do with it? There aren't really a whole lot of options for what to do with a preserved penis.
Guest echtrae Posted December 14, 2006 Report Posted December 14, 2006 Here's a link to Wiki about Raputin's death. The Empress did it. She couldn't bear to part from her beloved Rasputin.
