It's kind of amusing to me that Sir Isaac Newton appears on a Valentine's card. He would have been horrified had he ever received one, as he was known not to have really understood even the basic tenets of human relationships. Imagine Big Bang Theory's Sheldon Cooper timed almost to infinity, and you're not far off Newton. Other than working relationships with women, he had no contact with them. The work (and his long running feud with Robert Hooke), were everything. This is a man who almost blinded himself looking at the sun, and who inserted large needles into his eye-sockets to deform his eyeballs to see if it made any difference to his vision. What a catch for a lonely woman...
