Napoleon

One more for good measure: Ever since it was removed during an autopsy in 1821, Napoleon Bonaparte's penis has been the stuff of legend. And not for the right reasons. When the French emperor's tiny scepter went on display in a New York exhibition in 1927, Time magazine reported that it resembled a "shriveled eel." According to Tom Perrottet, author of Napoleon's Privates, it was eventually purchased by John Lattimer, a New Jersey doctor who collected odd relics, but he never displayed it. After Lattimer's death, his daughters finally showed Perrottet the puny prize. "It was kind of an amazing thing to behold," he told NPR in 2008. "There it was: Napoleon's penis sitting on cotton wool, very beautifully laid out, and it was very small, very shriveled, about an inch and a half long. It was like a little baby's finger."
