Scientists say lab-grown pee-pees could be tested on humans within five years
2014-10-07
[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] Scientists have successfully grown penises in a laboratory and say they could be tested on humans within five years.
Ummm...That sounds like it may not be suitable for a family publication...
The work is being carried out the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine, North Carolina. The laboratory grown penises could help men who have suffered a serious injury to the region, had radical surgery for cancer or who have a congenital abnormality. Scientists there are now assessing engineered penises for safety, function and durability, The Guardian reports.
Durability's important. And safety. Y'don't want the thing putting somebody's eye out or something...
It is hoped the US Food and Drug Administration will give the green light for testing on humans within five years.

#21  incorporated feathers

First hatched by proud cock-growing docs
Were stem cells and feathers in socks,
But they gathered in flocks
And were prone to the pox
And they panicked and fled from a fox.

#14  A certain clip from the movie 'Young Frankenstein' is called for here.

Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: For the experiment to be a success, all of the body parts must be enlarged.
Inga: In other vords: his veins, his feet, his hands, his organs vould all have to be increased in size.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Exactly.
Inga: He vould have an enormous schwanzstucker.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: That goes without saying.
Inga: Voof.
Igor: He's going to be very popular.

#7  Adopting too big of a willie
Will make the ambitious look silly:
They'll go boing, then go clunk,
Fall, propped up on their junk,
Flail arms, and cry "Get me down!" shrilly.
