Walrus?
Isn't that like a sea-going moose?

It would appear the title of this article is missing the 'r' from the end of the 3rd word.

There was a thread not too long ago about the way a spider penis would break off after "sex" in order to make a quick getaway. Is this practice more common in the animal kingdom than we all thought?

The usuk is an environmental adaptaion. Most mammalian penis erections occur when the copulating instinct causes blood to engorge the "tool'. In the Arctic the walrus' habitat is a constant cold shower. Ergo, a bone in the body is extended into the penis during mating events.
I traveled the DEW Line and the site on the Boothia Peninsula had a military bar which was named the Usuk Lounge. A gilded usuk hung over the bar and its size was quite intimidating. It was 38" long and had a gentle curve!
The Canadian military folk that manned this site collected these icons and would present them to visiting dignitaries. I said, "Ahem!" but alas they didn't give me the "bird!"

Iceland is so small, I didn't know it had a "south".

Thanks, mytopfuyn, for your link. The second most disturbing thing about the link (http://www.skullsunlimited.com/baculums.html) is that Skulls Unlimited not only sells REAL penis bones, but over 20 different types of "teaching quality" or "museum quality" replica penis bones. Sun Bear, African Hunting Dog, and Badger penis bones?
However, the most disturbing thing about your link is that I actually followed it. Shudder.

A gilded usuk hung over the bar... In San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood there is a bar called Specs' that has an oosik (their spelling) above the bar. Not gilded though, just natural.
To: Kimmers
bone which came from the penis of a walrus (Os penis) and is believed to be 10,000 to 12,000 years old Aren't you supposed to consult a physician if it's still erect after 4 hours? This has got to be an extreme case.

Having a field day with skullsunlimited.com, mtbopfuyn (obviously not a lot going on here). The highlight so far is the list of instructions for shipping specimens to SU for cleaning. Instruction No. 1:
1. Raw heads need to be drained of excess moisture.
That was helpful; I just knew I was doing it wrong before.

ok, but where do they hide it when not using it?
This seems like a heck of a genetic evolutionary diversion.

bar called Specs' that has an oosik (their spelling) above the bar. Not gilded though, just natural.Considering the location, San Francisco, I suspect that the pronunciation includes a dipthong! Or maybe no thong!
To: lesko
Well how else do you explain how a walrus managed to get in a gravel pit ? ;)
