Missing Penis?
I follow the news with some regularity. I usually skip more trivial things like the Michael Jackson trial, but I came across a trivial news article I decided to read.
"No Sign Tutankhamun Murdered But Mystery Unsolved" was the title. I read that and I thought, Why the hell would anyone care? So I had to read it to find out.
The article was pretty worthless, but the last paragraph struck me as a little unusual. In fact, it made me wonder why they even included it as it didn't really follow the theme of the article. It went like this:
-
The team thinks it has found Tutankhamun's penis, which was present in the 1920s but had gone missing by the time of an examination in 1968. "Although they cannot be certain, the team believes that they have located (it) ... loose in the sand around the king's body," the report said.

I think if I was the writer of this article and someone started telling me about his penis during an interview or something, I would have no choice but to include it.

like if you were hanging out and "just happened" to start talking about king tut's cock you'd have to write it in the article because that's the "only reason you brought it up?"

I was going to get a piano but it was too heavy, so that fell through.
I can't think of any other plans.
I wanna drink goats' blood.
But, Son, it's only Tuesday.
I'll email.
