Freudian slip(pers)

["A Freudian slip, or parapraxia, is an error in speech or memory that is believed to be caused by the unconscious mind. Some errors, such as a woman accidentally calling her husband by the name of the other man with whom she is having an affair, seem to represent relatively clear cases of Freudian slips. In other cases, the error might appear to be trivial or bizarre, but may show some deeper meaning on analysis. A Freudian slip is not limited to a slip of the tongue, or to sexual desires. It can extend to our word perception where we might read a word incorrectly because of our fixations."]

I ran across these and decided that they may be the greatest things I've ever seen.

On a similar note, I was pretty amused when I saw this, which one of my friends recently put up as her Facebook picture:



It's really weird and slightly disconcerting, but it is clever. I'm not a big believer in the therapeutic potential of psychoanalysis, or really any of Freud's theories on fixations and female "envy" for that matter, but he certainly was hugely influential in the development of modern psychology as both a philosophy and a science. (Plus, I really like those slippers... and they certainly wouldn't exist without the existence of the man himself.)
