A sculpted and polished phallus found in a German cave is among the earliest representations of male sexuality ever uncovered, researchers say.

The 20cm-long, 3cm-wide stone object, which is dated to be about 28,000 years old, was buried in the famous Hohle Fels Cave near Ulm in the Swabian Jura.

wishful thinking on someone's part?

So the scientists find this thing and say, "oh its flint knap as you can see, which also doubles as a dil."? How do they know that thats what it was used for? Maybe thats what the scientist wants it to be?

Gramps would talk about his time in Paris during WW1. On leave just after the battle of Belleau Wood. He and his buddies were on the way to a whorehouse, he claimed their tallywhackers were so big they made sparks as they dragged thru the streets.

Those were different times and the batteries were probably much larger than D.
