<p>Stop the presses!&#0160; <a href="http://dsc.discovery.com/news/briefs/20060501/tutpnis_arc.html?click=dscTkr">King Tut&#39;s penis has been found! </a> </p>

<p>(Admit it.&#0160; You thought I was talking about Joan Rivers, didn&#39;t you?)</p>

<p>So where was it?&#0160; <em>&quot;It lay loose in the sand around the king&#39;s body. It was mummified.&quot;</em></p>

<p>He he.</p>

<p>You must read the <a href="http://dsc.discovery.com/news/briefs/20060501/tutpnis_arc.html?click=dscTkr">article</a>.&#0160; It&#39;s extremely hilarious.&#0160; Apparently archaeologists spent a few decades worried sick about the whereabouts of the Pharaoh&#39;s member.&#0160; They even have <a href="http://dsc.discovery.com/news/briefs/20060501/tutpnis_arc_zoom0.html">pictures</a> that prove that he&#39;s well endowed (for a mummy).&#0160; Click on the link.&#0160; I&#39;m not kidding.</p>

<p>And what about Ötzi, the&#0160; World&#39;s Best Preserved Mummy (AKA as <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3227339.stm">The Iceman</a>)?&#0160; How does he, um, compare?</p>

<p><em>&quot;King Tut has been flattered by the embalmers&#39; work. There is no comparison with Ötzi&#39;s penis... Ötzi&#39;s natural mummification and dehydration in an Alpine glacier produced a &quot;collapse of the genitalia,&quot; which left the Iceman with an almost invisible member.<br /><br /> &#39;He would not make a bella figura today,&#39; Egarter said.&quot;</em></p>

<p>Ouch.</p>

<p>(I saw <a href="http://www.sudtirol.com/en/oetzi.htm">Otzi</a> a couple of years ago.&#0160; I must admit, I never thought to look for his penis.&#0160; Good thing, because apparently my search would have been futile.)</p>

<p>Don&#39;t say you never learn anything useful here.</p>
