Ms. Nations has been so kind as to send us a photo of this object…
The object in question is the rectum cut from the corpse of the Bishop of Durham.
The Bishop’s butthole currently resides in London’s Hunterian Museum.
The museum describes Object RCSHC/P 192 as follows:
A rectum showing the effects of both haemorrhoids and bowel cancer. The patient in this case was Thomas Thurlow (1737-1791), the Bishop of Durham. Thurlow had suffered from some time from a bowel complaint, which he initially thought was the result of piles. He consulted John Hunter after a number of other physicians and surgeons had failed to provide him with a satisfactory diagnosis. Hunter successfully identified the tumour through rectal examination, but recognised that it was incurable. Thurlow died 10 months later.
We here at Infomaniac feel that we should undertake a pilgrimage to the Museum to pay homage to the Bishop’s butthole.
Uh oh. We're lost and can only assume this is the correct route...
I can't identify anything recognizable in that "specimen." It looks like a sock that's about to unravel. It even has a string to pull.
ReplyDeleteI'll plotz if I'm first.
Plotz away, Stacia.
ReplyDeleteStart Plotzing Stacia!
ReplyDeleteTrust Ms Nations to show such enthusiasm in celebrating the year of the arse. A holy fossilised ring! What will she procure for her next offering one might arse...k?
I dare not speak for Ms. Nations, Princess.
ReplyDeleteYou never know WHAT she'll pull out of her arse next!
Consider me plotzed!
ReplyDeleteAs long as you haven't lost the plot.
ReplyDeletethere goes my breakfast...ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww
ReplyDeleteYou really need to read the Infomaniac disclaimer, Topher.
ReplyDeleteIt looks more like an exploded tampon.
ReplyDeleteI do so enjoy hearing about little known historical events. Unfortunately this isn't one of them. If one looks at butt holes it should be one of a live Colt model or at least a Chippendale dancer.
ReplyDeletewrecked him? damn near killed him.
ReplyDeleteA rectum relic!
ReplyDeleteI used to drink Bishop's Finger. I'm glad I didn't know where it had been.
ReplyDeleteI think its the finest example of a bishops' butthole I've ever seen. It's notoriously difficult to 'rear' them in captivity, you know *snork!*
ReplyDelete...hello?
religious artifact - NOT. those bishops are simply not worth preserving. I had a lampshade - oh wait - wrong cultish group of nutjobs. my bad
ReplyDeleteI believe it is not only a fossilized butthole, but a preserved worm crawling out of it. I can hear the altarboys now, "BISHOP GOTS WORMS! WORMS! BISHOPWORMS!" It couldn't have ended well.

ReplyDeleteI can’t imagine what your comment is doing to our poor Topher.

GEOFF: I used to drink Bishop's Finger. I'm glad I didn't know where it had been.
Oh my…their website shows a link to “Bishop’s Finger Fun.”
One can only imagine!

...hello?
I’m holding you personally responsible for Topher’s health issues.
KABUKI: religious artifact - NOT. those bishops are simply not worth preserving. I had a lampshade - oh wait - wrong cultish group of nutjobs. my bad.
While you’re here, Mistress MJ insists that you make another art movie like the stunning film you featured today.
BITCHES...click the link above!
PEENEE: I believe it is not only a fossilized butthole, but a preserved worm crawling out of it. I can hear the altarboys now, "BISHOP GOTS WORMS! WORMS! BISHOPWORMS!" It couldn't have ended well.
Are you saying that The Bishopric of Worms started this way?
Oh, THAT'S what the post is about! I thought you were featuringa new movie from the BBC.
ReplyDeleteHoly arse ...

HEathens, I say. So no wonder that his arse swallowed him in the end.
MISTRESS MADDIE: Oh, THAT'S what the post is about! I thought you were featuring a new movie from the BBC.
ReplyDeleteI’m wondering if the Bishop’s Butthole had a cameo appearance in The Vicar of Dibley or Father Ted.
MAGO: Holy arse ...
