A penis-shaped iceberg floated by the town of Dildo, Canada, which isn't too far from the city of Spread Eagle and the town of Placentia. (Image credit: Ken Pretty)

It can't be.

y'all hear about the dick-berg in dildo??

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Alas, the iceberg lacked staying power: Pretty photographed the 30-foot (9.1 meter) phallic structure on Thursday, April 27. It collapsed the next day.

Hate it when that happens.

That's, umm, what she said.

What kinda coincidence is this? I feel like someone must've sculpted it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

I feel the same way. I know exactly nothing about ice sculpting, and after typing this I guess I try google... what did the article call it? Sobmething that made me think chunks of glacier is otherwise normal near the coast of Dildo.

But that just seems like an extremely well place dick joke. That someone or multiple people risked their lives to pull on. Off.

My family is from nearby. Unironically hundreds of icebergs a year pass that area. It was honestly a matter of time.

And that person was {insert favorite prophet or just someone you hold in high regard}.

Yeah, first thing I thought was "Wait - again?!?". That would have been one hell of a coincidence.

I’m so tired of this ‘will-they won’t they’

It's the hovering part that surprises me.
