Dark Age Dong Denial!

Sometimes a title is just too good to overlook.

Witches Allegedly Stole Penises and Kept Them as Pets in the Middle Ages

I love that 'allegedly'. Keeps the lawyers happy, I suppose. Quote:
Kramer goes on to describe one man's quest to restore his missing member. By his account, the poor, castrated fellow "approached a certain witch" who instructed him to "climb a particular tree where there was a nest containing many members, and allowed to take any one he liked." (He was unfortunately rebuffed after trying to pick a particularly large one because "it belonged to a parish priest.")
