Quoted from William Gibson's blog

In response to the case of the Indian man born with two penises (diphallism) (see: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1906115.cms) who had to have one removed so that he could be married.

"This case of diphallus reminds me of that tiny but grimly inexplicable web-genre of DIY willy-whittling that Warren Ellis makes a point of keeping us all abreast of. How poignant, that the gentleman so gifted prefers instead to surgically opt for mono-dicked orthodoxy -- considering the apparent number, however small, of Xacto-wielding body-mod hobbyists out there, bent on home bifurcation."
