  1. Shape of the symbol of the Heart was derived from the shape of a Female Buttocks (from the latest episode of The Big Bang Theory) – Actually the origins are speculative but (according to Wikipedia) “the heart symbol could also be considered to depict features of the human female body, such as the female’s buttocks, pubic mound, or spread vulva.” – More info

  3. A two-photon microscope works on a principle that violates the basic statement of Einstein’s work that won him the Nobel Prize. (Another beauty thanks to The Big Bang Theory) – More Info
  4. All forms of Tea originate from the same plant – “Camellia sinensis plant” – Read this at a coffee shop! – More Info
