Hope that qualifies as an interesting fact..

It takes more muscles to frown than smile - which is utter cr*p. I must have the face of a body builder as i always frown; it is not because i am unhappy, my face is naturally like it. When i was little my mother used to ask me why i never smiled. Apparently I told her that when i had something to smile about i would. Mind you, while at chapel i said that God did not exist - i was eight at the time.
