For when you realise something seemingly obvious about things you encounter on a regular basis.
I just read about the prefixes of the names of September, October, November and December meaning 7, 8, 9 & 10 respectively. Seems so obvious but not something I have or ever would have noticed. Mind = blown.

And if I remember correctly, at least some of the earlier months are named after Roman gods. March is for Mars, I think, and June is Juno. Can't think what the others might be though.

The same elements, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen, which comprise the human body also form the basis of planets capable of life.

The moment I realised the 1 in the Formula 1 logo is actually the space in between the F and the red shape and not the red shape itself Mind = blown

Oh wow. You can also see an F between the A and the 1 using the same method.

To the first one, I was amazed when I found out. And I just never knew about the second one. Brilliant windowlicker.

The arrow in the FedEx logo between the E and the x. Can't remember when I first noticed it but thought it was pretty clever.

It's also the first thing I thought of as I read the F1 thing, which I'd never actually seen it before, so never had a chance to see it without knowing it was there.

And if I remember correctly, at least some of the earlier months are named after Roman gods. March is for Mars, I think, and June is Juno. Can't think what the others might be though. January is after the god Janus (or possibly the word ianua, but the two are linked anyway). I forget February. April is from the Latin word "to open". May is probably a goddess but I forget, there's another theory that May and June are named for old men (maiores) and young men (iuniores) but iuvenes is a much more common word for young men, so much more likely Juno and ...that other goddess. July and August used to be named as fifth and sixth months before they got changed.
