weyes Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 why do we call this shape a heart when it doesn't look like a real heart at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sancib Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 Because it's an asthetic representation of the real thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marklius Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 If people used realistic renderings of hearts instead of the heart shaped ones, the new "heart symbols" would begin to draw less feeling about love and more about cannibalism...

marklius Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 On Valentines Day, people eat the little candy heart shaped heart candy, all kinds of chocolate goes in the heart boxes, heart shaped cakes....If they were actually made in the literal image of human hearts, with ventricles and blood vessels and fatty deposits...wouldn't that be kind of creepy?
