paracelsus626 posted this entry. (The picture is the important part.)
So in response, the title of an article I found: "The Flying Phallus and the Laughing Inquisitor: Penis Theft in the Malleus Maleficarum." From the Journal of Folklore Research, Vol. 39, No. 1, 2002.
And a quotation from the abstract: "This article examines a narrative included in this work, one that relates how witches steal men's penises and keep them alive in birds' nests. In one case, Kramer and Sprenger record that a victim tried to choose a big penis to replace the one he had lost, but was told that it belonged to a village priest."
