Keep the train rolling!


And here are some fun facts to go along with my carts:

No.9: Post-death, Napoléon Bonaparte’s penis was removed from body during autopsy, displayed on a museum, and sold for $2,700 in the 1970s.

And soon thereafter it gave a birth to Evgeny Ponasenkov.
only Russians will get this joke

Any particular reason they felt the need to remove it, or just for funsies?

The story is quite entertaining actually, but it seems that the doctor that performed the autopsy after Napoleon died of stomach cancer, wanted to keep some sort of trophy. Since he was so famous and a lot of French people idolized him it would make sense that his corpse or parts of it would be treated like relics. But perhaps he just held a grudge and mutilated his corpse for fun.
The penis was taken to Napoleons birthplace Ajaccio, Corsica where it was displayed as a relic, but eventually ended up in the hands of an collector...
