Dr. Funkenstein

Dr. Amos Funkenstein (1937-1995). Jewish historical scholar, author of such works as Perceptions of Jewish History from Antiquity to the Present (Tel Aviv, 1991). Probably nowhere near as cool as his name implies.
"I follow the late scholar of Jewish thought, Dr. Funkenstein, in defining historical consciousness as a useful and neglected middle term in this debate"

- Susan A. Crane, 'Writing the Individual Back into Collective Memory', The American Historical Review, 102, 5 (Dec 1997), p.1373.

Dr. Frankenstein 

A sexual maneuver which involves a bit of advanced preparation. A playlist must be prepared which includes, in the middle of it, either the Toccata and Fugue by Bach (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd_oIFy1mxM) or a soundtrack of a "dark and stormy night" as might be used at Halloween time. The effect should be similar to the opening credits of a gothic horror movie - e.g. Frankenstein, or Dracula.
This song should be placed well into the middle of the playlist, so that it begins during copulation. This really works in any position in which you are not flat on your back. To begin the Doctor Frankenstein, while the horror soundtrack is playing, tilt your head back and let loose your best, loudest, most evil laugh into the night sky. Your arms should be spread wide, fingers curled, claw-like, as you cackle diabolically. Your partner should have no idea what you are doing.
Bonus points if you begin screaming, "It's alive! It's aliiiiiive!"
Instant win if you can somehow record all this and post it on the internet.
"My weekend was great, thanks for asking. I finally got to pull off The Dr. Frankenstein with some chick I met in a bar."

"Things were going really well with Diane last night. We were in bed messing around, and the Toccata came, so I Dr. Frankenstein-ed her. She didn't think it was as funny as I did."

"Yah, well, I Dr. Frankenstein-ed your mom!"

Power Couple 

A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.

Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.

In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.
I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.

I am envious of them because they are a power couple.
