The pathos of Napoleon's penis

In this NYT op-ed piece about weird relics people collect, Judith Pascoe recommends that the poor object (which she compares to a "maltreated shoelace") should be returned to its body to rest in peace.

Pascoe also mentions in the article that "Mary Shelley [kept] her husband’s heart, dried to a powder, in her desk drawer." Awww!
