Small lesson in etymology: What other word do you think of the term: orchid? ORCHID = Orchid? And do you know where the word orchid comes from? From the Greek word for the testicle. If now I tell you that Hitler and Franco were both monorchids. What do you deduce from this? That both had? …. only one testicle! In Spain, this story sparked hectoliters of ink when it was published in 2009 in the newspaper El Mundo.
