    CONGRATULATIONS to everyone involved and admiring viewers! The Amorphophallus has begun to display a pleated interior! We are currently planning to make t-shirts for selected/cool individuals that have the spike extending from the front base of the t-shirt to the chest. The words may be “Check out the Titanic Phallus” or some alternative version. On another note pictures with the Gustavus model may now be available for a minimal cost.
