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.-- JesusHChrist, Mar 14 2005 I did one of these and it described me as *dangerous* :) http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/ [po, Mar 15 2005] Why are hearts heart-shaped? http://www.straight...lassics/a2_146.html [DrBob, Mar 15 2005] Operation http://www.amazon.c...31-7565711?v=glanceA Milton-Bradley game.

(Apologies to the Scarecrow)
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-- Soterios, Mar 14 2005 Why th-thats beautiful...-- JesusHChrist, Mar 15 2005 I dunno. I'm sure I've seen a "surgeon" game for kids that involved removing idealized body parts from the "patient."-- DrCurry, Mar 15 2005 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'.-- wagster, Mar 15 2005 (Thanks RayfordSteele for letting me know that I could use br breaks for line breaks.)-- Soterios, Apr 20 2005 random, halfbakery
