Russia's first museum of erotica is to open in St Petersburg - with Rasputin's penis reportedly among the exhibits.

Museum founder Igor Knyazkin says the 12 inch (I'm sorry, did that say TWELVE inch?) organ will be the star attraction, reports Russian daily Nezavisimaya Gazeta.

Mr. Knyazkin, who is also the chief of the prostate research center of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, said he was particularly proud of the pickled penis. (Was that alliteration necessary?)

He said: "Having this exhibit, we can stop envying America, where Napoleon Bonaparte's penis is now kept. (Did that keep you up at night, buddy?)

"Napoleon's penis is but a small pod - it cannot stand comparison to our organ of 30 centimeters." (Major insecurity issues here).

Well, this might say something about *why* Rasputin was such an influential historical figure...

I'm pretty sure that Napoleon is entombed in Paris. I saw the purple marble tomb. Anyway, just so you know, I'd like to be buried with my penis. At the very least, they could have kept Napoleon's wang in his home country. How did they get his penis over here? Was it shipped FedEx or did some guy put it in his carry on? "Anything to declare?" "Um, yeah, Napoleon's penis."

Lauren, you simply don't have time to travel to Russia to see it. Besides, there are plenty 12-in penises here in America... ;-)
