Behind a glass storefront, on a quiet residential street away from Reykjavik’s city-center throng, is perhaps the most penis-y place on Earth. The Icelandic Phallological Museum is a shrine to schlong that holds an impressive collection: Whale willies that look like dunce hats; an elephant’s junk you could hit...
Every office has a few toe-tappers, foot-waggers and/or pen-spinners. I, for one, annoy the hell out of my coworkers with incessant knee-bouncing. What, though, compels only some of us to twitch and tap, while others can remain perfectly still in moments of deep concentration? It’s complicated, but...
Trying to find the perfect workout partner — one who keeps you motivated, even when you can barely bench 100 pounds — can feel a lot like looking for a beefy needle in a sweat-drenched haystack. And like any relationship, even when you think you found the...
I recently happened upon an extremely popular Reddit thread (more than 12,000 comments and counting) that asks internet goers to recount when — and more importantly, why — they finally decided to leave their toxic jobs. For example, here’s one relatable tale written by commenter austintx-16 (sic...

Ear hair is an unsightly fact of life for many men — 74 percent of them, according to a 1984 report in the New England Journal of Medicine. While you can’t fit your razor in there, you do still have multiple options for removing it. But out...
It’s well understood that couples face any number of battlegrounds upon shacking up to supply the abode with goods and victuals. Among the most notorious is shopping at one popular Swedish furniture store, where psychologists have deemed the place a literal “map of a relationship nightmare,” where...
Every so often, for seemingly no apparent reason, men are met with one of the great pleasures of owning a penis: The opportunity to pee into a urinal filled with ice. It’s a unique satisfaction — bestial, even — to mark one’s territory in a dive bar...
The Irish goodbye, the shamrock shuffle, ghosting (in the sense of leaving a party without saying bye; not cutting off someone you’re dating), or what I like to call the secret bail, is nothing new. Essays have abounded on the internet for the last few years both...
Recently, a cable news host claimed he hadn’t washed his hands in 10 years. He can’t see the germs, he said, “therefore they’re not real.” He continued that he believes the practice bolsters his immune system and prevents him from getting diseases. I had a sixth-grade teacher...
A few weeks back, over the Super Bowl weekend, I declared that soup (and an omelette) is the best hangover cure. “The soup provides fluids and sodium that help combat the hangover-inducing dehydration often caused by drinking 20 grief beers after your team loses the Super Bowl,”...
