Speech Errors
Anticipatory errors (e.g., bappy boy) are
about twice as common as perseverative errors
(e.g., happy hoy).

Karl Dunckers (1945) Radiation Problem
Given a human being with an inoperable stomach
tumor, and lasers which destroy organic tissue
at sufficient intensity, how can one cure the
person with these lasers and, at the same
time, avoid harming the healthy tissue that
surrounds the tumor?
