Clarification

For anyone who was confused by the all too brief appearance of a student and a giant penis on my site. It was, in fact, homework.

From the assigning Prof:

The object in question, professor B, is in fact a Dionysian phallus-maypole, and it is more on the order of eight feet tall. Five of the students had the assignment to recreate a bacchanal, and this was a set piece they created to do their ecstatic dancing, sacred trance-performance, and dithyrambic hymn-chanting around. Ah, gimme that old-time religion! Who says history can't be [insert phallus joke here]?

Shame on you that thought I was some kind of dirty person.

Here's an expurgated photo for those of you who may have missed it (my likeness used to protect potentially embarrassed students - and likely to horrify others in general).
