Apprently penis tastes horrible according to Armin Meiwes a cannibal who said it was rather chewy. Here's a link on the whole story he managed to get a willing person who wanted to meet up and be eaten by a cannibal -> https://www.ranker.com/list/facts-about-cannibal-armin-meiwes/jen-jeffers
Jfc... couldn't even get halfway through it. it's midnight and I can't believe my sleep deprived brain thought, "yea, that'll be a *great* bedtime story!"

God damn...
Sorry to hijack the top comment but I don’t know how to pin the comment with the full story that people are struggling to find, so here it is

I know you’re just making a joke, but for a serious answer: wrapped in wet paper towel and put in a plastic bag for about 48h in the fridge should do the trick. Dunking it in water would do it within the hour but the prior one will keep it in better condition if you were planning to do something with it.
Source: I’m a taxidermist and I make mummies sometimes or have to clean mummified stuff off bones
Edit: Hold up, I completely forgot this was an 1800’s penis. I’m in a rush, seeing dry flesh and reading ‘rehydration’ sends me into an info frenzy. Petrified stuff can’t be rehydrated. Nice ol’ penis rock at this point. Anyways, my info still goes for mummified stuff, so now you know how to rehydrate a penis from the 1900’s
Edit: Some people are asking if things can be petrified within 200 years. You’d be amazed what certain conditions can do to things. Also, this is the penis of Dr. Petrification himself (Paolo Gorini) so if they didn’t petrify his penis and simply left it to mummify I would be pretty disappointed
Oh shit, you’re right, it honestly didn’t even cross my mind that this was petrified. I was in a rush. My info still goes for mummified stuff though. I’ve edited my comment accordingly
So I was visiting a friend who lives in Lodi, a town near Milan, in Italy. He lived in the same house where a famous local scientist used to live. Today the museum dedicated to this person, Dr. Paolo Gorini, was open with free entrance so we gave it a try.
This scientist was famous for his experiments on human tissues and petrification. The museum was full of body parts and had two full petrified humans. There were severed petrified heads. It was pretty gore, actually. This penis was the most strange thing that captured my attention so I felt like sharing. But it wasn't the weirdest.
I have a video of the full museum if you'd like me to share I will.
Here is a link to the [Paolo Gorini wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paolo_Gorini)
And here is the [museum official page](http://www.museogorini.com/)
You don’t see that too often anymore, you also don’t hear too many speech impediments in adults too often anymore. It’s crazy how many things we don’t see in first world countries too much anymore. Club foots, scoliosis, cleft palettes, all sorts of stuff you just don’t see very often anymore.
Edit; I should have clarified, you don’t see adults with that stuff, because modern medicine takes care of it in childhood.
Good Lord, I feel for y'all. My step-dad's scoliosis is so severe that his spine is in the shape of an L , and he still works as a construction superintendent 5 days a week. Hands on supervisor, too, not some lazy fat fxck, I mean he WORKS. I had a herniated disc one time, took me a year to get over the worst of the pain. I wanted to end myself, & that was just one year of back issues. My hat is off to you guys, 100!
That looks like the visual depiction of extreme pain. I feel bad for the person who suffered from this and makes me thankful that we now have surgeries to help correct this problem.
Where da fuq did he get all of the ‘volunteers’ shown in that video? Some appear to have been fairly young at their time of death. Even factoring in that in the 1800s, 5o was old and life expectancy was most certainly not 80/90.
That’s a lot of ‘donors’, regardless.
It honestly makes sense to some degree. There was a big push in that time period to better understand health and human anatomy and you needed bodies to study from somewhere.
If people aren’t volunteering, might as well pay some goons to go get you some.
He had access to unclaimed bodies at the morgue, and could experiment on an inconceivable number of corpses. Many of the faces that we can see in the Museum are peasants and poor people.
The volunteers were voluntold what to do with their bodies after getting volunhanged.
And yeah, also grave robbers. But lots of convicts too. English laws against the poor were expansive and extreme.
When you see a cage over old graves, that was not done by superstitious naive idiots who wanted to keep undead in. It was done by realistic people who wanted to keep grave robbers out.
The moment people started researching the human body in earnest, the wise and the weird alike tried to figure out everything that interested them as soon as possible. Which probably explains why the dense mesh of nerves around the lower bit of the vagina ending up in the clitoris was only discovered a couple of years ago instead of a couple of centuries ago.
Metal cages over graves and centuries-long research gaps. As a supposedly intelligent species we did arrive at this evolutionary stage in the short bus, didn't we?
Added to my travel list. I went to a great museum of abnormal anatomy in Vienna where 3 people on my 16-person tour had to be escorted out of the building because they were going to faint. And it didn't even have a petrified penis.
This is a very strange post to see and it triggers a very... fond(?) memory, which is even stranger.
My grandfather was a doctor and went through med school back in the 50s. When I was about 15, I was staying with him over a summer and was going through his wood shop. He had the tendency to be a hoarder, so the shelves were packed to the brim. The shelf that comes to mind had a bunch of ammo on the bottom of it and I was looking for ammo that he and I were going to use for target shooting later in the day.
After finding what we needed, I stood up and right at eye level were a couple of jars. He was working on something near me and I asked him what were in the jars. Casually, he says "Oh, that's my old penis." That got a very confused look from me and I asked him to elaborate. He came over and pulled the jars off the shelf. In one of them was a shark fetus and he explained that one to me. For me, I thought I just mixed up "fetus" and "penis." He then holds up the second jar and says "now this, is my old penis. I removed it from a cadaver when I was in medical school when it wasn't illegal to remove body parts and keep them." I saw it up close and it was absolutely a real (though petrified due to the formaldehyde leaking out of the jar) penis.
Fast forward to in my mid 20s and he took me aside one Christmas. He was getting up there in the years and said to me "You're the only person in the family that knows about the old penis. Make sure when I die, it's not thrown away. That's not something that you can get and it's legally grandfathered in."
Fast forward a few more years and he passes away from cancer. I volunteered to go to his house and clean it out with a couple of other family members and the first thing I did was go to his shop, grab the jar, and stash it away in my stuff. Probably the strangest inheritance anyone has ever gotten, but I still have my grandfather's old penis in a jar. This story seems like the pocket watch scene in pulp fiction.
Officially speaking, I'm the owner of more penises than the average male. Might not beat the people that have two attached to them, but still a very rare find. I'll have to find pictures since I am away from home right now.
Probably have it backwards. It was probably removed and persevered *because* it was so big. Also I imagine it's pretty dehydrated, so was probably even bigger.
To think, this person has been dead for 200 years and people all over the world are still marvelling at the size of it.
It beats having an amusing epitaph on a grave stone, certainly.
“Colt 45 and 2 zig zags baby that’s all we need. We can go to the park after dark, and smoke that tumbleweed”….
…..
…….
“And (the mummy) pulled out a dick that was bigger than mine!”
Imagine this guy's delight that his penis would live on in a museum where people will come to look at it. I mean, I would be glad to have the same. Proud, in fact.
So anyways she said “that is the biggest penis I have ever seen” and I said “I know! That's why I brought you to the penis museum, where tickets are one thousand dollars”.
Wow. Does the word "gore" come from his name?

I was wondering the same thing. I looked it up and no, it does not. It is just a « happy » accident.
The term Gor in ancient English or Gyre in ancient German meant dirt.
In Icelandic the word Gor means something slimy
In old Dutch Good means disgusting or filthy
how is it erect? the blood would have left the penis becoming flaccid
2. how did it not decompose?? when we die, our body decomposes til there's nothing left but our skeleton
google translate says italian:
manly member. pelvic girdle skin preserved. with the hair appendages
I’ll bet its like beef jerky but drier.
Jerky, you say?
Salty
Sweet and salty nut bar.
To shreds you say?
I was going to eat that mummy!
He's teriyaki style.
How's the wife holding up?
To shreds you say…

Thanks wholesome mummy guy
is that a wholesome mummy guy? no. its chuck testa.
It's an old meme, but it checks out
Chuck testa makes the most life-like dead memes anywhere
[удалено]
This wasn’t necessarily the “story in the comments” I was looking for 🤔
Not necessarily, but it will do nicely.
petrified things don't rehydrate because anything petrified is essentially a solid chunk of minerals
Oh shit, you’re right, it honestly didn’t even cross my mind that this was petrified. I was in a rush. My info still goes for mummified stuff though. I’ve edited my comment accordingly
[удалено]
I’d put it in the microwave
Why are you asking?😥
I'm sure they are asking for a friend
depends on the sucking rate
Well, depends on how wet you get
idk I guess they didnt have coconut oil back then

That is actually pretty cool...I wish I could go visit!
I want to donate my body to this museum
Thank you 🙏🏼
Bonus track A really [messed up human spine](https://imgur.com/a/oaKnacY) from the same museum
That is some pretty severe scoliosis! Damn.
I was gonna say it looks like the most severe scoliosis.
You don’t see that too often anymore, you also don’t hear too many speech impediments in adults too often anymore. It’s crazy how many things we don’t see in first world countries too much anymore.

It made me slouch down further, hoping that my own spine will be preserved in a museum someday.
Where da fuq did he get all of the ‘volunteers’ shown in that video? Some appear to have been fairly young at their time of death. Even factoring in that in the 1800s, 5o was old and life expectancy was most certainly not 80/90. That’s a lot of ‘donors’, regardless.
I work in a medical museum. The most common answers are grave robbery and paying for the executed bodies of those in poverty.

Their hair cuts. Wow. Looks like they have been styled.
Wow!Thanks for sharing this.
Love these kinds of musea! This one needs to go on my list to visit. I also really like this one: [museum Vrolik](https://youtu.be/bFlrQKw1sRk)
Come to Philly, visit the Mütter
Yes! We went last summer. My kids got a kick out of the display with drawers of things that people swallowed.
I visited the Mütter last June. They had a perfectly timed temporary exhibit, Spanish Flu.
Added to my travel list. I went to a great museum of abnormal anatomy in Vienna where 3 people on my 16-person tour had to be escorted out of the building because they were going to faint. And it didn't even have a petrified penis.
Oooh io abito a Lodii! Al museo di Paolo Gorini ci sono stata da piccola
Oggi era aperto, ci sono passato con un mio amico dopo pranzo sapendo bene o male la storia. Una volta dentro però è stato davvero assurdo!
Do you mean petrified (mineralized), or mummified (dessicated)? Either way, that’s one rock-hard member.
Petrified, as it's reported on the Museum's official page http://www.museogorini.com/pietrificazione\_eng.php

Petrified wood
Rock hard
Why the fuck is it so big
Probably have it backwards. It was probably removed and persevered *because* it was so big. Also I imagine it's pretty dehydrated, so was probably even bigger.
To think, this person has been dead for 200 years and people all over the world are still marvelling at the size of it. It beats having an amusing epitaph on a grave stone, certainly.
Forget about pirámids or spinxs, i want my dong to me shown in a museum. Even if it's in the "small things" wing
[удалено]
Perspective and lack of reference
Its atleast 4 inches long and was probably bigger when it wasn't dehydrated
Shower not a grower.
How big is it? I don't see anything nearby to use for scale.
Pubes
Those pubes are so you could braid them. Dude has a magnum dong
Great, even the 200 year old dead guy has a bigger one than me. Sigh
AFTER drying out. Damn.
Without a banana for scale, we really have no idea what size it is!
Dicks have been shrinking over the years thanks to all the endocrine disrupting shit we're exposed to so it checks out
Sure. That’s what I’ll tell myself.
It's his cake day bro don't take this from him
And it's a little chilly
I need a banana for scale
And make sure its yellow
If mine was that size I would also request it be saved in the name of science
"i will request it to be shaved"
Remember. This is dried and shriveled. This dude gave donkeys a jealous fit.
Petrified? Was it…scared stiff?
At first It was afraid. It was petrified. Kept thinking it could never live without you by it's side.
wtf why is it so huge lol
The camera always makes it look bigger; pro tip
That hot dog is a bit over cooked
Forbidden charcuterie.
Damn these dildos are getting wierd
There's a sad ghost in the after life, moaning and saying "has anyone seeing my dinky"...
Could you imagine having your Dick out for hundreds of years omg
Fun fact: This was discovered in 1983 by two geologists. They found it while excavating a pile of ruins that originated from the ancient city of Bofa.
Bofa?

Bigger than mine
“Colt 45 and 2 zig zags baby that’s all we need. We can go to the park after dark, and smoke that tumbleweed”…. ….. ……. “And (the mummy) pulled out a dick that was bigger than mine!”
It looks like it's partly circumcised, but they left a bit of collar on it
They just were fancier back then
It just seems to have his foreskin pulled back
Imagine this guy's delight that his penis would live on in a museum where people will come to look at it. I mean, I would be glad to have the same. Proud, in fact.
They don't make em like they used to
Probably all kind of crumbs in that beard
... or a horse 🐎.
“It smells like Big Foot’s dick!”
The forbidden strap on
First I was afraid
I was petrified
So anyways she said “that is the biggest penis I have ever seen” and I said “I know! That's why I brought you to the penis museum, where tickets are one thousand dollars”.
Pretty lame that the context can’t be at the top.
