* Shift the letters in "Freud" up the alphabet by three. You get the word "Cobra", which can itself be viewed as a euphemism for a penis. Your mind is now blown.

*** May have been intentional in the film, but the University of Central Florida is in Orlando. Florida State University is in Tallahassee.

* Take a look at [http://www.emporis.com/en/il/im/?id=451915 One Mellon Bank Center] in Pittsburgh. It's the world's largest dildo!
* How about [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:30_St_Mary_Axe,_%27Gherkin%27.JPG 30 St Mary Axe] in London? Its nicknames include the Erotic Gherkin, the Towering Innuendo and the Crystal Phallus.

*** Unsuccessful; it looks even more phallic now. ''Doubly'' phallic, actually, as the land part looks like a head-on view of a dick and the water looks like a side view of an erection.
* [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1e/YpsilantiWaterTower.jpg This particular water tower] in Ypsilanti, Michigan. It's like the architects were trying as hard (no pun intended) as possible to make it look phallic.
Line 35 ⟶ 36:
** Entirely intentional. In Egyptian mythology Geb and Nut, the earth and the sky respectively, were lovers and were constantly, er, together. Ra was understandably annoyed at this because it prevented anything from living and so commanded Shu, the air, to separate them. Therefore, obelisks were built to represent the earth's constant desire to rejoin the sky. Clearly, we can all learn many things from the Egyptians.
*** The earth and the sky, [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|coming]] [[Incredibly Lame Pun|together]]? Indeed.
** In the same vein, Karen Armstrong's book ''A Short History of Myth'' supports the thesis that
* At the main entrance to Converse College, an all-women's school in Spartanburg, SC, is a [http://s3.amazonaws.com/findagrave/photos/2001/258/440_1000655378.jpg monument to the founder], a Mr. Dexter Edgar Converse. You would have to see it to believe it. It is nothing less than the frontal silhouette of a 20' erect penis.

* Even God's getting in on the suggestive imagery. [http://snowgrouse.livejournal.com/1584391.html#cutid1 This is a real photo of the Orion nebulae].

* That thing up top? Yeah, it's not a Photoshop, that's an actual artillery sound suppressor. The sides are expansion chambers for the sideways blast from the muzzle brake.
** It was built and used at a German artillery training site, simply because the nearby villagers where annoyed from the sound. The unit was dissolved, rendering these obsolete and probably scrapped already. It reduced the sound by about 20Db.

** You show me a man whose sperm looks like Izzy, and I will show you a very infertile man.

* A real-life example that has nothing to do with buildings. Recently an AP psychology high school teacher in Florida [http://www.aolnews.com/2011/03/14/parents-hot-over-florida-teacher-frank-rozanskis-sexual-tension/ has found himself in hot water] for quizzing his students with a set of questions laced with innuendo, aptly called the "[[Exactly What It Says

(The best part might be the end, when he says the ''cross'' is more powerful than the phallic symbol. Sorry, but have you looked at a cross?)
* The most common password on computer systems, after sequences of numbers and [[What an Idiot!|the word "password" itself]], is [https://web.archive.org/web/20150327124407/http://www.whatsmypass.com/the-top-500-worst-passwords-of-all-time apparently] "pussy". It's doubtful whether it's always (or even usually!) in reference to a cat.
* In German, a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nut_%28hardware%29 nut] is called Mutter, which litteraly means mother. So, there is the terminology to "screw a screw into the mother". This sounds extremely oedipal. (The use of the word Mutter in that context was even topic of the work of some german psychoanalysts.) Note: The word "screw" doesn't have that Double Endendre in German, so, in German, these connotations aren't as explicit as in English. Of course because of the form of a typical nut as a metal ring with a hole where a screw is put into, there is of course still a connection.
* Three words. Texas. Blind. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_blind_salamander Salamander.]
