Who, if anyone, has Napolean’s penis?

"Dr. John K. Lattimer died earlier this week. The fact that he was the former chairman of the urology department at Columbia University is the least interesting fact about him. He was an expert in ballstics and became the first private citizen granted access to Kennedy's autopsy photos... He treated survivors of the Hindenburg explosion and Nazi defendants at Nuremberg. He was also a collector of some very odd items: a pair of Eva Braun's earrings, the cyanide ampule that Hermann Goring used to commit suicide, the key to Lincoln's presidental box at Ford's Theater. Oh, and he bought Napoleon's penis in 1977 for $3000." http://www.metafilter.com/61321/Napoleons-Missing-Bonaparte Jul 09 09, 5:57 PM

Oops, more info: "But after he [Lattimer] died last year, his daughter—who inherited the penis—unexpectedly showed me one day a few months ago." Interview with Tony Perrottet. http://www.worldhum.com/features/travel-interviews/tony_perrottet_exposing_napoleons_penis_20080710/ Jul 09 09, 5:59 PM

It would be a nice gesture if the US returned it to Paris. Jul 09 09, 6:04 PM
