hehe, yeah, that myth is pretty nutty. I took a History of Ancient Egypt class in college and we talked about that story early in the class. I think he said Isis found his penis and "sat" on it and impregnated herself or something. I guess I don't remember the details, but there was definitely penile discussion. I just remember thinking, well they didn't cover THAT part when I learned this stuff in junior high! :P
