Dr. John K. Lattimer died earlier this week. &nCThe fact that he was the former chairman of the urology department at Columbia University is the
least interesting fact about him. He was an expert in ballstics and became the first private citizen granted access to Kennedy's autopsy photos (he made this
drawing to explain the path of the bullet). He treated survivors of the
Hindenburg explosion and
Nazi defendants at Nuremberg. He was also a collector of some very odd items: a pair of Eva Braun's earrings, the cyanide ampule that Hermann Goring used to
commit suicide [.pdf], the key to Lincoln's presidental box at Ford's Theater. Oh, and he bought
Napoleon's penis in 1977 for $3000. Some think it should finally be allowed to
rest in peace.

I forgot this was still around, but the Dick List is alive and kicking. If everyone could put the dicks they know in that database, I'm sure it would be the size of Altavista.com. Read some of them, they are still trolls living among us.
