Not to be confused with Hans Brinker who skated circles around Sigmund
Fraud, causing Fraud to take up smoking which eventually led to his
(Fraud's--not Brinker's) demise.

Not to be confused with "Clever Hans," the horse who could "do math."
Clever Hans couldn't actually count, of course, but was astonishingly
good
at picking up subtle cues from his trainer, or even strangers, about

What he thought about little boys, furry objects, or psychologists was
not
recorded for posterity.
