Being pathologically obsessed with the size of one's penis is not a permissible defence for homicide, according to an Australian court, which found Michael Daniel Cox guilty of  murdering his wife in a rage three years ago.

Lawyers for Cox had argued that their client was mentally unfit because he suffered from a "body dysmorphic disorder" in which he was pathologically obsessed with the size of his penis. His lawyer said Cox also suffered from "morbid jealousy" and had convinced himself his lover was having an affair (perhaps with a more well endowed man?)

The judge in the case rejected both defences and found Cox guilty of murder. Now he'll get to compare his penis with hundreds of others.
