When a woman scrolls through the world map on Google Maps, she can't believe her eyes: there is a phallus-shaped island in the South Pacific.
Some contemporaries boast of the size of their manhood.
The longest reproductive organ ever measured is a ridiculous 48 centimeters long.
For comparison: the size of a blue whale is about six times as large - and so, as it recently turned out, is still not the largest phallus-like creation on earth.
Despite its impressive size of no less than 500 meters, it has so far remained undiscovered.
Unlike its similar, albeit tiny, human counterparts, this magnificent piece of masculinity is not made of flesh and blood - but of a sandy beach and palm trees.
The strangely shaped island lies off the coast of New Caledonia in the South Pacific.
The fact that humanity is finally finding out about its existence is thanks to a coincidence to the American Joleen Vultaggio.
She likes to scroll through the world map on Google Maps - and one fine day she made an unusual discovery there.
"He suddenly appeared and I thought: Wow, that looks like the best piece of a man - and it's pretty big," the 50-year-old is quoted by the Daily Mail.
She then noted the coordinates of the strikingly shaped land mass and shared them in a Facebook group, where like-minded people can share their Google Maps discoveries.
“But I didn't show my children that.
They would probably have just laughed and rolled their eyes, ”said the mother of three.
“But isn't it interesting to see what the earth is capable of?”
