penis envy

I just watched the Queen Marry 2 pull out of port and make its way down the New York harbor. It is definately a sight to see. The ship is massive. It dwarfes a lot of the buildings that are around it and makes the helicopters circling overhead look like gnats.

Sometimes you wonder at humanity's obsession with things being louder, bigger, faster. Is it just penis envy? I can't help but wonder if it was just some guy who felt inadequate about his penis that designed it. Yes there is the matter of prestige and elegance. But the main draw is its size.

Ships the penis of nations.
