Paging ACW, paging ACW.

Scientists have discovered what they believe is one of the earliest representations of a phallus in a German cave.

The prehistoric "tool" was reassembled from 14 fragments of siltstone.

Its life size suggests it may well have been used as a sex aid by its Ice Age makers, scientists report.

.....The Hohle Fels phallus will go on show at Blaubeuren prehistoric museum in an exhibition called Ice Art - Clearly Male.

Honest. I'm not making this up. My question is, why did it take them so long to invent batteries?

Jeez. So the "goodie drawer" is not a modern phenomenon!

Best quote from the article:
"In addition to being a symbolic representation of male genitalia, it was also at times used for knapping flints."

How many times have I heard, "Damn, if this thing could only knap flints I wouldn't need you!"

Is this because I was so enthusiastic about vibrators at the last happy hour?
