The most shocking singer of modernity Lady Gaga dopelas ... And she finished it so that now her name will be wearing a new kind of fern. This was announced by scientists from the University of Duke. The plant is distributed in Central and South America, Mexico, Arizona and Texas.
The fact is that at one of the stages of his life a new kind of fern becomes very similar to one of the famous costumes of Lady Gaga.
Gaga monstraparva (literally a small monster - this kind of affectionate nickname calls his fans the singer) is one of the nineteen species of fern, which has the honor to wear the name of the most vivid and extraordinary pop star.
"Lady Gaga is worthy of this honor. She fervently defends the interests of equality in all spheres of life, and is also not afraid to express her personality in the manner that may seem unacceptable to most people, "says study leader Kathleen Prayer.
In 2010, at the Grammy Awards music awards ceremony, Gaga appeared in a suit from the fashion house Armani. He was "equipped" with giant shoulders that made him look like a heart. The trained eyes of scientists in this costume immediately recognized the gametophyte - the stage of ripening of the fern, on which it becomes similar to the strange concert dress of the singer. Even the color matched - Lady Gaga, she felt that she had to dress up in green.
The decisive argument that prompted experts to finalize the name in honor of Gaga was DNA analysis, during which it became clear that the structure of this particular fern species differs significantly from that of other species of this plant. This was the last straw, and the scales of the weights moved towards the singer's name, because, in fact, Lady Gaga is a real phenomenon that, by the level of shock and provocation, will give odds to any young singer, and there is not a single person who is like her.
However, Lady Gaga is not the only one whose name is immortalized in science. For example, in honor of US President Barack Obama, the name of the California lichen is named, but actress Helen Mirren can be proud of the flower-meat-eater growing in the jungle and bearing her name, and the researcher Brian Lessard, for example, likes the singer Beyonce, so he decided at least somehow thank the singer for the talent and named in her honor a horsefly.
