Iguana has penis removed after week long erection

I saw this on BoingBoing and thought it was hilarious:

"Iguana erection update: vets at a zoo in Brussels have chopped off the penis of an iguana called Mozart, so he can walk again after suffering with a permanent erection.
...

Zoo officials decided on the operation after keepers called in experts when they saw the iguana was in some discomfort, and having trouble walking because of the permanent erection."

I wish I got that kind of attention when I had an erection.
