I like Valentine’s Day, but since it is so commercialized and (let’s face it) pretty lame, I really appreciate stuff like this. Ladies and gents, some scientific Valentine’s courtesy of Scipsy: 

From Esa With Love: a romantic animation of heart shaped things as seen from space.

…talking about humans, did you know that falling in love makes you broody? Yes, especially if you are a man. When one falls in love they show greater activation of brain areas related to parental attachment when they see a baby compared to single people. Be careful.

Anyway guys, I must tell you:

“To date, there is no compelling evidence any online dating matching algorithm actually works.”

Ah, another thing: 

“This year Valentine’s Day is mathematically cancelled: 14-2-12=0”

Happy V-Day!
