A Whale's Penis is How Big?

This Big:


And other scenes from the Copenhagen Botanical Gardens:






Hey look at my willie!  Oh wow

Madagascar periwinkle:  a component in anti-cancer drugs






bananas!

So in the back building of the Botanical Gardens is a building with a whale exhibit... hence the whale penis above.  It cost 50 kroner to get in which is about ten bucks.  It was just one big room and at first glance did not seem worth 10 bucks.  And then I saw the whale penis...

also, there is a colleen look-alike inside the whale fetus jar.

Just did some blog catch up during my lunch break and experienced quite a few laughs. Sounds like you are having a blast over there. Can't wait to hear all of the stories in person - Karina
