Time I once heard the following: In what way is Yosef and Einstein similar. Answer: they both dealt with time. While all the magicians in Egypt tried to interpret Paroh's dreams in certain ways, only Yosef interpreted them as time items - 7 good years, 7 lean years. Einstein, of course, dealt with time in his own way (Heaven only understands what he was talking about. lol.) Reply
In verse 45 Rashi says, "Poti-phera: He is Potiphar, but he was called Poti-phera because he became emasculated since he desired Joseph for homosexual relations. — [from Sotah 13b]. Rabbi Gordon, a" h, says that Potiphar emasculated himself. But the Talmud Sotah 13b says that the angel Gabriel emasculated him.
