Title: Why Does It Take More Muscles To Frown Than To Smile ?
Post by: neilep on 13/06/2009 10:23:00
Dearest Smilefrownologists,

As a sheepy I am of course responsible for smiles the world over.....It's obvious isn't it ?...Sheepy = Smile...it's blatant !

I recently heard that it takes more muscles to frown though than it does to smile.


Look at this kid here !

 [ Invalid Attachment ]

Been told that he's won a trip to Disney with
all the spending money he can ever want



 [ Invalid Attachment ]

Been told he has not won a trip and that in
fact it is his sister that has and that he has
to stay at home for two weeks to babysit !



Isn't a frown just an upsdie down smile ? Is it true then that a whole bunch more muscles are used to display a frowny face than a smiley one ?

What are the numbers here ?  and why ?





Bring a smile to sheepy face this Saturday morning.



Hugs & shmishes





mwah mwah


neil
It's No trial for ewe to smile !

I think the numbers are something like 17 for a smile and forty odd for a frown.
