So are they left/right or upper/lower? I imagine that in either case, using a urinal might be a bit complicated. posted by doctor_negative at 11:19 AM on August 22, 2006
Should you be visually oriented, here's a diphallus picture. NSFW, obviously.
I remember being 11 years old and playing Trivial Pursuit with my mother and her friends and the question "What does a man with diphallus have" came to me. And I knew the answer but wasn't sure it was OK for me to say it. posted by Nelson at 11:35 AM on August 22, 2006
Not so sure this is a "blessing" as the thread title suggest.
Earwigs, snakes, lizards, and crustaceans aren't the only ones with paired sexual appendages. Some men have been reported to "sport" one or several extra penises and penises that naturally split in two. Duplication of the penis is an extremely rare anomaly with only about a hundres cases being reported since the first case reported by Wecker in 1609.
Can't help being amused by the name of the man who first reported this.
drat, should have done a preview. posted by nickyskye at 11:39 AM on August 22, 2006
Realised my picture is different, even though our words were similar. posted by nickyskye at 11:40 AM on August 22, 2006
Reminds me of an old joke... My tailor asks if I dress left or dress right...I told him I was ambidexterous. posted by Gungho at 11:40 AM on August 22, 2006
Notice he's cut twice. Wonder what the rabbi/doctor thought about that? Did he get a bulk discount? posted by 1f2frfbf at 11:47 AM on August 22, 2006
The trivial pursuit question was about polyorchid in my memory... a similar concept. posted by GuyZero at 11:48 AM on August 22, 2006

"Ever heard of diphallus?
Yes. Probably one of many clinical terms taught to be by my sister. posted by nthdegx at 11:54 AM on August 22, 2006
This link has an astonishing photo of this, obviously NSFW.
nickyskye, I had a friend who used to joke that one of his legs was longer than the other two, but that's just ridiculous! posted by kimota at 12:19 PM on August 22, 2006
If anyone sticks an image in the comments...well, please don't!

peckish primate
Visual ptsd. lol. Yup, that was traumatising. posted by nickyskye at 12:28 PM on August 22, 2006
There are people who are born with the standard equipment and, uh, bifurcate themselves as adults.
And then put pictures of that on the internet.
I wish they wouldn't. posted by Zozo at 12:46 PM on August 22, 2006
