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"

Get the Dr Funkenstein mug.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!"
