Erik Erikson

After spending some time traveling throughout Europe, Erik Erikson studied psychoanalysis from Anna Freud and earned a certificate from the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society. Erikson moved to the United States in 1933 and was offered a teaching position at Harvard Medical School. In addition to this, he also had a private practice in child psychoanalysis. Later, he held teaching positions at University of California at Berkeley, Yale, San Francisco Psychoanalytic Institute, Austen Riggs Center, and Center for Advanced Studies of the Behavioral Sciences. He published a number of books on his theories and research, including Childhood and Society and The Life Cycle Completed. His book Gandhi's Truth was awarded a Pulitzer Prize and a national Book Award.

Leif Erikson

Noun. The most badass explorer to exist. Discovered America before Columbus and didn’t even have to pillage the natives to be remembered. Has a day named after him.
If dragons existed, Leif Erikson probably would have ridden one to California from Iceland and stopped global warming.

He was born out of the Scandinavian god Odin's rectum on October 9, 1944 (Leif Eriksson Day) due to a wolf-styled anal plug. Later killed in an accident involving poisonous blowfish innards, he was then reborn through a cake recipe in which the blond-haired baker didn't do the cooking by the book. However the oven was built into the volcano Eyjafjallajokull, and he was blown into a bush at a park in Nevada (after Iceland's banking crisis). There, he was discovered by Funion-eating Americans, whom adopted him as their love child. He currently resides with bitch-ass white kids and drug-dealing draugr, leaded by a half-Asian named Fuzzy Sheiben. Please subscriebe and donate nao so he can fulfill his dream of meeting Alexander Rybak. Join the Felowship of Magnus Followers who partake in the journey to his birthplace in Iceland.
