About two or three times a month I walk through the OR of this one hospital in San Francisco. Each time I do I pass by this innocuous poster that features some bit of research or information. Picture the background of a highschool science competition exhibit, all cardboard and super-glue. So I walk by this poster and, every single time, I see a penis. Now, having looked closer at the poster: I know, rationally, that it is NOT a Penises. But that is all I can see.
Maybe this is a Rorshcach type thing, and part of me wants to see a penis. Maybe its like how a huge portion of our visual cortex is meant for faces, which is why we see faces in clouds and potato chips and rocks. That would mean part of our brain is dedicated, just for penises.
All if this is just a way for me to express some of the research I feel this hospital ought to be pursuing.

I see it too.
Sort of an, “I see dead penis”
That is most definitely a penis…although it doesn’t look very healthy.
Freud would have a hayday with us, wouldn’t he…
When I was little and my parents took me to Disney World, my dad told me that all little boys think palm trees look like penises. This confused me greatly, although I can kind of see it now.
There are, indeed, many phallic-shaped objects of various kinds in our strange society. I think this one is pure coincidence, but definitely – PENIS!
It’s interesting how people choose to see the face of “Jesus” on various objects/in various places. On my bathroom mirror I have a picture (I didn’t make it myself) of a “bar code jesus” – a face made out of little bar codes that are dark and light so that they look like a face. However, I don’t see jesus! I see many different faces, depending on the day, but not jesus’s! I wonder if this Rorschach Test means that I’m going to hell
– scary stuff!

When you see Jesus’ penis, let me know.
Did Jesus have a penis?!
Correct me if I’m wrong, anyone!
I’m not that familiar with the Bible, but the dude’s life seemed to give the distinct impression of “no penis”, no?
It’s a dick all right, a bent one at that. Sometimes you don’t need to sublimate or project our sexual and aggressive instincts, as Freud would have it. A cigar is just a cigar. How can I post an image to this comment field?
It might be a compacted colon too. Oh dear, I need to take up pottery and channel these projections, sublimating my deepest, repressed thoughts.
Come to think of it, my avatar — an upright shuttle ready to launch — is the ultimate phallic symbol.
Not true, Dan,
The ultimate phallic symbol has always been a banana.
A quick google search of “bible passages about penis” yields a suprising amount of results for x-rated biblical entries….. FYI…..
amidst them are these gems:
ISAIAH
3:16 “…and the Lord will discover their secret parts”
EZEKIEL
23:1-40 Sex organs and ejaculate of harlots’ lovers compared to asses & horses
NAHUM
3:4-6 Lord: “I will discover thy skirts upon thy face”
and finally:
LUKE
2:21 Eight day old Jesus is circumcised
So he DOES have a penis….. and this I know because the bible tells me so…..or something like that.
Philosophical question: Once the foreskin was cut from the baby Jesus, was it still holy?
I can’t say that I could quote a penis passage but I feel strongly that my lord was hung.
