Mariah Carey or adult movies online | Adult Movies OnlineMarie Curie? A not-so-common mix-up, but one that saw quite the birthday blunder.
In a tweet, author Harriet Alida Lye explained that her cousin, Siobhan, told her colleagues in England she wanted a cake with singer Mariah Carey's face on it -- a perfectly reasonable request for one's birthday.
You'd think one of the world's most recognisable pop stars would be a piece of, uh, cake for most people to organise, but in this case, Lye's cousin received a cake featuring Noble Prize-winning Polish, French-naturalised physicist Marie Curie.
"They misunderstood, and [this] is the cake they made her instead," Lye wrote. "It's Marie Curie, looking very festive."

Carey, not Curie, even responded to the mix-up on Twitter. "This could've been me if only I hadn't failed remedial math," the singer joked.

For some people, Curie's appearance was an improvement (we like both of these famous people, so no shade on either, thanks).
