Some People Will Do Anything To Have Something Connected To Someone Famous
There are some things I’d like to own, other things I personally would pass on…like this.

Oh dear!
“But Dr. Lattimer undoubtedly will be most remembered as the possessor of Napoleon’s penis, allegedly removed by a priest administering last rites, which he bought at an auction in 1969. An avid collector of memorabilia, he also owned Lincoln’s blood-stained collar, Hitler’s drawings and the ampoule that held the cyanide with which Hermann Goring committed suicide.”
Uhm…I think the man had some issues, WAY beyond over-avid collectionism. This reminded me of the very many Catholic Churches I’ve seen all over the world that have what in Spain are called “relicarios” which is an euphemistic way of talking about the various body parts of saints. Apparently leaving the body untouched doesn’t count for them. It’s REALLY creepy to be in a church that proudly declares to be the owner or A’s skull, a thighbone from B, C’s left ring finger and a whole LEG from D.
