The chemical structure of boric acid (H₃BO₃) on a red background bears an uncanny resemblance to the Isle of Man's triskelion flag. Three hydrogens extending from oxygen atoms around a central boron atom - nature's own version of those famous running legs. Chemists probably giggle about this in lab meetings while everyone else wonders why they're laughing at a structural formula. Just another day of finding geography in molecular structures instead of actually finishing that publication.
