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& #39;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& #39;s not the kind of legacy Napoleon planned to leave.
Also described as "a little bit like beef jerky." So that& #39;s another reason I& #39;m glad I& #39;m a pescetarian.
The French government was given the opportunity to buy Napoleon& #39;s penis but not only did France decline to purchase the infamous sexual organ, the government refused to admit its existence. Ouch.
