Micro-penis sufferers, rejoice!
At least it's too awful to ever become a cosmetic augmentation.

I'm also wondering what they do with the hair on the flaps of forearm skin.

Great quotes from the article:
"the average length (12.5 cm)" (finally, an argument FOR the metric system)
"flaps of skin from the forearm" (foreskin?)
"he rolled it up "like a Swiss roll"" (well, that killed my appetite)
"cylindrical flap" (sounds like a way to describe a flameout on MeFi: "bunnyfire got into a cylindrical flap")
"Pushing a button under the scrotum"
MetaFilter: pushing a button under the scrotum

Longbaugh, according to the soi-disant Definitive Penis Size Survey (contains NSFW images near bottom), the mean length of an erect penis is 6.4".

I've always heard (and personal experience with a relatively large sample size bears this out) that average is between 5.25 and 5.5 inches.

Penis-skin grafts. It's a really vicious cycle.

Can he check the organ donor box on his drivers liscense now?
Will he go to the head of his class?

I've done the math. Micro-penis syndrome affects approximately 1 in 200 men. Metafilter has approximately 20000 members. Assuming half of these are men (a conservative estimate), that means at least 50 among our ranks are endowed with tadgers tinier than 2 inches in length. (This assumes a random sample, but somehow I doubt mefi is representative of normalcy.) In any case, a surprising statistic-- more people than PP probably found this post helpful.
