Mona Lisa’s smile analyzed…

Mona Lisa’s enigmatic smile has intrigued viewers for centuries and now researchers claim they have unlocked the secret behind it.

A computer analysis of the Leonardo da Vinci masterpiece has found that she is 83 per cent happy, 9 per cent disgusted, 6 per cent fearful and 2 per cent angry.

Dutch researchers at the University of Amsterdam say the computer rated features such as the curvature of the lips and crinkles around the eyes.

I can definately see this software being abused by Big Brother……

Big Brother, Mona Lisa, Smile
