I'm guessing that a valentine heart is a 2D representation of a 3D idealized human heart -- two tear drop shapes twisted and merged together. So why doesn't someone make a whole human body out of idealized versions of all the organs? It would be an educational toy for kids, and we might get a bunch
of new holidays out of the deal.
I did one of these and it described me as *dangerous* :)

O, we'd be Holidaying
Once a week or daily
When this new trend starts,
And our calendars would creak
With icons from our physique,
Those Idealized Body Parts |
|
|
We could have a Brainy Think Day,
To remember what the wise say,
Folks like Plato and Descartes,
And a day for the uvula
Might be the thing to move you-la
With Idealized Body Parts |
|
|
It would be great to commemorate
The hallux or the 'nads
Celebrating parts we didn't know we had
With this ideal organ fad |
|
|
Your sternum and your coccyx
Might be among the top picks
On festive anatomy charts
But I bet the biggest talkers
Would be greeting card hawkers
For Idealized Body Parts |

Why th-thats beautiful... |

I dunno. I'm sure I've seen a "surgeon" game for kids that involved removing idealized body parts from the "patient." |
|

It's called "Operation", I played it recently. It's been around since the seventies and still sells because the kids love pretending to pull organs out of people. It's a very Halfbakery idea really - file under 'board games'. |
