Discovered in Siberia, the fossilized baculum, or penis bone, is from a species of walrus that went extinct 12,000 years ago. The piece curves to a point and is covered with weathered skin and dry muscle tissue.

The auction house said it was believed to be the largest known mammal penis fossil.

“Mega” sized condoms are only 2mm larger than the regular sized ones.

May 10th, 2010. Tags: , , , , .

People ask about condom sizes. It’s not like buying a shirt. There generally are three sizes available and size differences are subtle. For example, LifeStyles Ultra Sensitive is a standard condom size. The LifeStyles Form Fit condom is contoured to provide a snugger fit for those who prefer it. Ansell also offers a Mega condom which is just 2 mm larger than the standard size. But sorry, guys, they don’t get bigger than this, despite what you claim to need.
