Penis size will be no more a question of speculation

Boy locker room conversations inevitably include one subject: the "penis".

Penis size is one of the most painful subjects for men.

For too long, penis size has escaped the rigorous analysis of modern science and has been left prone to self-serving exaggeration. Recently, one fearless inventor has arrived to clear the field of biased pseudoscience: "Throughout history, there has been discussion and focus on the human male sex organ. Generally, having a large penis is seen as more masculine and manly than having a small penis. Well-endowed male pornography stars are looked at by many with admiration and envy due to the size of their penis."

"There is a remarkable lack of convenient and accurate methods for measuring the penis. Most men merely take a ruler and measure the size of their penis in inches. However, to adequately describe the size of a penis the length alone is not enough. Nor is it enough to know the diameter at an arbitrary point. The penis is not shaped like a true cylinder, but rather it has a more complicated shape. Therefore, a method for measuring the size of a penis needs to account for the unusual shape and size of the human penis."

The new device uses what Archimedes discovered 22 centuries ago, when first shouted Eureka from his bathtub: the Archimedes principle. Jason Turner has applied the same techniques of fluid displacement to accurately measure the volume of the "corner stone". Scientific breakthroughs can often be met with fierce resistance: Knowledge is power, but the truth - even if small enough - can hurt. 'Cause a short lath is better than a long pencil.
