Well, I am thankful that you did anyways. And what you wrote made sense... I had read in Reader's Digest that the face does the same thing: smile and you increase your feelings of happiness, frown and you decrease your feelings of happiness.

Frowning also burns more calories. A good diet, regular exercise, and plenty of situations that make you frown will make your face look less fat, and more like Jack Bauer's.

I thought that smiling used more muscles, therefore it was easier to smile than frown. So wouldn't smiling burn more calories as you are exercising more muscles? Or is the degree of resistance: the more muscles to smile provides greater passive resistance to frowning than frowning's passive resistance to smiling?

Which uses more calories - typing out a response to someone, or punching them in the face?

Depends on how long the response is VS hard you hit the person. But I think you would have burned more calories hitting me than typing out that short response.

Hmm, okay Xyle. Having reviewed the symptoms you presented, I'd say it was Chakra #5 that was blocked and the problem was that you couldn't express your homosexuality to your abusive parents, fundamentalist church nor your telepathic-symbiont female.

Good luck with that. :monkey2:

You got that backwards. Smiling uses about 18, frowning uses 43.

What about a relaxed neutral face?

You are lazy and most probably fat.

What about being sad or angry? How much face muscles do you use then? Will you use equally, less or more muscles than smiling or frowning?

What about when you're reading something and you're slightly surprised and also slightly disappointed at the same time?

I think that actually generates calories.
