Dirty layers hid painting's penis
September 3rd 2009 01:14
A Brazilian art restorer has discovered a new layer hidden in a centuries-old painting of the Greek god of fertility Priapus by French artist Nicolas Poussin - the deity's erect penis.
Mr Linnell said Mr Della Bosca's ex-lover was fully briefed on the likelihood of it being uncovered.
"They had discussed, they had fantasised and eventually they had agreed to convert their fantasises into reality," he told a jury in the northern English city.
He was unshaven, with curly brown collar-length hair, rotten teeth and “steely” eyes.
"She was hosed down, which was a bit embarrassing,'' cousin Katie said.
She suspects the cover-up was made in conservative Catholic Spain in the 18th century.
The accident was broadcast on social networking site Twitter as it happened.
Police have warned those responsible could be charged with producing child pornography, although that was unlikely.
Federal Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull has laughed off suggestions he dressed as a woman and danced with Priapus, who was traditionally depicted with an erect penis.
"While my body was asleep, I think my soul rode on a triangular-shaped UFO and went to Venus."
He rode past the children then turned around and allegedly flashed his penis at the children before riding off.
Dog squad officers responded and were forced to shoot after a firearm was aimed at them, police say.

The Catholic Church is secretly run by the Jews who are secretly run by the Arabs who are secretly run by Satan. Tell 'em I said hail.

Anyone who would bang Turnbull for a buck will be escorted from the building.

I've been waiting for a married couple from Hong Kong.
Turnbull is such a well-known public figure; I reckon he should run for his life if I ever saw him in the street.

you could crack a thousand fortune cookies and never uncover the wisdom that is shared in a conversation between Norm and Morgan

You're right. I just cracked a thousand fortune cookies - actually, I cracked a thousand and one, adding scientific and mathematical veracity to the experiment - and, as I said, you are right. I still can't uncover said wisdom.
Should I try another thousand?

I think my use of penis did perhaps get a bit out of hand.
