What might we deduce about his Heart?

Hearts are peculiar things. I am not of course speaking about the  hollow muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the blood vessels to various parts of the body by repeated, rhythmic contractions, I am talking about the symbolic heart and what some refer to as 'the seat of the emotions' (although in reality that would be the hypothalamus-medulla oblongata or the hindbrain). Aristotle believed that the heart was the seat of the emotions but the Roman physician Galen considered the seat of passions to be the liver, the seat of reason to be the brain, and the heart to be the seat of the emotions. I wouldn't fancy giving somebody a liver on Valentines day though! Yuk!!

My boss (resident of 221b Baker Street) is very good at showing his feelings. He say's the most ridiculous things and is extremely rude to people when he is infact just 'stating the facts'.
But what really goes on behind those piercing eyes, no body knows? 

  
Once there was a woman who no one was entirely sure of and she weaseled her way through the doors of Baker Street. None of us trusted her but for some reason my boss seemed to like her - or though she thought - but that was all sorted out by a pair of dilated pupils and a game of pulse taking.

Anyway enough nonsense. Here are some fascinating facts about the heart:

* The human heart's magnetic field can be measured several feet away from the body
* The THUMP of a heart beat is the sound made by the four heart valves closing
* The medicine for the heart is 'laughter'
* The average heart weighs around 11 ounces
* Every day, the heart creates enough energy to drive a truck 20 miles.
* Early Egyptians believed that the heart and other major organs had wills of their own and would move around
     inside the body.
* A woman’s heart typically beats faster than a man’s.
* Grab a tennis ball and squeeze it tightly: that’s how hard the beating heart works to pump blood.

One of my favourite books is The Heart and the Bottle by Oliver Jeffers. Here is the story...

So there we have it. My boss says never let your heart rule your head. Guard your heart as if it is the most precious thing you own (because it is) BUT don't lock it away, frightened of it getting broken, share it with people through being kind and thoughtful and enjoy all the amazing things the world has to offer...like laughing with friends, splashing in the sea, bow ties and fish fingers and custard ;)
