The plural of penis is peni

Nope, sorry. The singular of peni would be penus, not penis. Like radius->radii, octopus->octopi, etc.

The plural of penis would be penes.

EDIT: Oh, and on the actual topic, it seems to me like those contracted artists were real dicks. :P

Shouldn't it be penises...? I haven't been around many of them so I never had to use it plural.. maybe an expert can help us out

Perhaps I should explain.

When someone says the plural of "penis" is "peni", they're trying to imitate Latin. But in Latin, the "i" ending is used for plurals of words ending with "us", like "radius" or "cactus". The correct latin plural for "penis" is "penes", just like the plural of "thesis" is "theses", the plural of "crisis" is "crises", or the plural of "axis" is "axes".

It's actually a little more complex than that, since plurals in latin depend on case - it could be penes, penium, or penibus. "Peni" is the dative singular, meaning that you'd use it (in latin) as the target of a noun - like "He gave head to the peni" (although you wouldn't actually do that in English, since we don't follow the latin declension system).

Of course, in English, we don't always follow latin plurals for words of latin origin, and so you're right, we would generally use "penises", because the only words ending in "is" that we've kept the latin plurals for are the ones that end in "sis" (axis sounds like aksis, so it's kind of a special case). But if we were going to us a latin plural, it would be "penes" (pronounced pee-knees), not "peni".

as the text says, they are not really visible in the game due to the used texture quality

I think some of the cracks in the street may be penis shaped, like the one below the backpack in the picture
