The staff at askmen.com has compiled the “Top Ten: Hells on Earth” and, OKC is at number 5!

Here’s the list of the ten cities and each one’s particular brand of hell.

10 Baghdad, Iraq- Type of hell: Conflict
9 Dhaka, Bangladesh- Type of hell: Pollution
8 Yakutsk, Russia- Type of hell: Environmental extreme
7 Mogadishu, East Africa- Type of hell: Lawlessness
6 Chernobyl, Ukraine- Type of hell: Radiation
5 Oklahoma City, United States- Type of hell: Natural disasters
4 Pyongyang, North Korea- Type of hell: Oppression
3 Bujumbura, Republic of Burundi- Type of hell: Corruption
2 Linfen, China- Type of hell: Darkness
1 Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea- Type of hell: Disease

That’s some pretty fast company you’re running with there, OKC.

Here’s what Ask Men said about Oklahoma City.

While it may be all hunky-dory on the musical front, Oklahoma City isn’t the kind of place you’d want to hang out in for too long if you like to keep your feet on terra firma. The weather is frighteningly unpredictable, with blizzards often descending on the city and winds that could knock a high rise clean off its feet. It is, after all, located in the direct path of “Tornado Alley.”

The worst time to visit would be from March to August, when The Day After Tomorrow-style weather is pretty much expected. In fact, the severe weather season makes Dorothy’s Kansas look positively calm, with Oklahoma City being the city worst affected by tornadoes in the United States. One of the most powerful tornadoes on record — an F5 with wind speeds of 320 mph — devastated much of the city in 1999, securing its place on our list of hells on earth.

Well, I’ve never been to any of the other places on the list and, maybe it’s just me but, I’d take my chances with the tornado.

Apparently……in Husavik, Iceland there is a Phallological Museum; a museum of the penis.

Open from May to September, it is housed in a plain brown building, the entrance marked by a tall brown phallus near the door and a penis-shaped sign over the front porch.

No doubt closed during to winter months due to shrinkage.

The joint, was the brainchild of Sigurdur Hjartarson.

His collection, which began in 1974 with a single bull’s penis that looked something like a riding crop, now boasts 261 preserved members from 90 species.

He said he began collecting penises 24 years ago, when working as a school administrator, with little notion he would one day be running a museum devoted to the subject.

“It was just a hobby,” he said, adding that the collection was relegated to his office until the inception of the museum.

“They were not on display in the sitting room.”

Yes…of course…a school administrator whose hobby is collecting penises. Probably wouldn’t fly here in fly over country but, Icelanders probably have a different feel for these kinds of things.

If you must know…

The largest, from a sperm whale, is 70 kg (154 lb) and 1.7 meters (5.58 ft) long. The smallest, a hamster penis bone, is just 2 mm and must be viewed through a magnifying glass.

Did you hear about the sperm whale that was having back pain?

The doctor told him; “You’ll be OK, just don’t lift anything that weighs more than 150 pounds”.

“How am I going to take a leak, Doc?”

Hjartarson says that number of visitors grows every year and 60 percent are women.

And, oh yeah…this.

One species conspicuous by its absence is homo sapiens, but that may soon be rectified since a German, an American, an Icelander and a Briton have promised to donate their organs after death, according to certificates on display.

The American, 52-year-old Stan Underwood, supplied a written description of his penis — which he purportedly nick-named “Elmo” — for display alongside a life-size plastic mould of the member as well as his pledge to donate it.

Nice going there Stan…and “Elmo”.

Have at it folks.

Pete Doherty…

…has decided to stop using drugs.

Pete Doherty has apparently vowed to give up drugs after almost killing one of his beloved kittens.

He says: “I got a shovel and was going to kill one of the cats. That was when I was, like, you know, ‘I’m a bit of a mess’. It was a bit of a crazy time.”

Good for you, Pete. Sounds like you finally have this under control.

Maybe, you should talk to this guy.
