Apples have five fold symmetry

Lots of flowers do. It's probably to do with Fibonacci.

Lies! Apples were domesticated 10000 years ago but Fibonacci lived in 12-13th century.

Our butt is connected to our head, just with a really long tube. Shorten the tube enough and your butt would also be in your head.
