I stumbled across this interesting page that reveals ten interesting facts about Sigmund Freud. to list a few of the most interesting ones: Freud's death could have possibly been an assisted suicide, his famous couch was actually a gift from a patient, and Freud once that that cocaine was a miracle drug. I thought this was an interesting list of facts that I thought I should share with the class.

You inspired me to look up some more fun facts on Freud (look at that alliteration!), and I found some more cool ones.
1) Freud was a polyglot; he knew almost 8 languages including English, Hebrew, German, and Spanish.
2) He researched on male eel sexuality.
3) Freud caused a slight cocaine plague in both Europe and America due to his article on the benefits of cocaine.
4) He was very superstitious in his life and believed that the numbers 23 and 28 were important in his life. He even thought that he would die at the age of 51 (spoiler: he didn't).
I found even more fun facts, so I thought I'd share them here.
1. Free Association is a technique where the patients would speak whatever comes to their minds and Freud believed that it worked more effectively than hypnosis.
2. Although he is known to everyone as Sigmund Freud, his original name was Sigismund Schlomo Freud.
3. His mother called him "Golden Siggie."
4. Freud underwent 33 surgeries in his last 16 years of life.
