I spent today coding some of the spurs data I downloaded from the #PortableAntiquitiesScheme and came across a description of a terminal from a post-medieval rowel spur fragment as "fortuitously phallic-looking." Did I click on the image link? Of course I did.

(It looks more like one of those ganache-drizzled Black Magic chocolates to me, but you be the judge. Link is SFW, unless you have a very vivid imagination.)
