Good news from Greece: First gay marriages performed; annual phallus festival. →[More:]

What's funny about the phallus festival article is that it says "If you want to come prepared, find some ceramic phalluses and dangle them from your waist. But make sure you come on the right day because this town is perfectly normal the other 364 days of the year" - yet they managed to mix up the date they ran the article... it should have been 6/3/2008 DMY - 6 March, 2008 - not June 3, 2008.

My husband has worked on documentary crews covering the festival several times, and we have a ceramic phallus just like the one hanging in the foreground of the photo somewhere around here. V. usually tries to bring me something back from his out-of-town jobs; sometimes it's cheese, sometimes it's wine or conserves, sometimes it's a big giant dick.
