I've always wanted to see Iceland for its astonishing landscapes...and now, there may be an even better reason to go.

Icelandic museum offers long and short of male organ

...Hjartarson is founder and owner of the Icelandic Phallological Museum, which offers visitors from around the world a close-up look at the long and the short of the male reproductive organ.

His collection, which began in 1974 with a single bull's penis that looked something like a riding crop, now boasts 261 preserved members from 90 species.

The largest, from a sperm whale, is 70 kg (154 lb) and 1.7 meters (5.58 ft) long. The smallest, a hamster penis bone, is just 2 mm and must be viewed through a magnifying glass.

One species conspicuous by its absence is homo sapiens, but that may soon be rectified since a German, an American, an Icelander and a Briton have promised to donate their organs after death, according to certificates on display....

Not surprising....

A growing number of people from all over the world view the collection each year, 60 percent of them women.

...and the other 40% gay?

Beam up, Scotty!
