In case any curious minds want to know what happened to said penis. https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=92126411
His penis was smuggled out of Corsica by a priest who was later killed in a bizarre blood vendetta. How often do you get to write that sentence?
His penis was passed along to the priest's family and eventually put on display in NYC in 1927 and was described as "being like a piece of leather or a shriveled eel." I bet that's not the kind of legacy Napoleon planned to leave.
Also described as "a little bit like beef jerky." So that's another reason I'm glad I'm a pescetarian.
The French government was given the opportunity to buy Napoleon's penis but not only did France decline to purchase the infamous sexual organ, the government refused to admit its existence. Ouch.
This thread is what happens when a writer stumbles upon a topic completely unrelated to what they're working on and ends up tunneling down the proverbial rabbit hole.
