83 percent happy? Apparently Mona Lisa was not a Democrat.

"Ok, but what was she happy about?"

That you don't need a software program to figure out. There good reason why the portrait is from the hips and up. Now go figure why she's happy. LOL

"were 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry"

Pretty much describes the women in my life...

Christmas 2000 I took two of our daughters and a favorite niece to London and Paris for ten days (the wife had to stay home). We went to the Louvre, saw the three hour long line and in typical NY said no-f-way, went to the front and asked the semi-cute jeune-fille if there was another way in. She pointed to the Port de Leon (Lion's Gate) a block away and said 'peut etre a la'. We took the walk and found a second entrance with zero persons on line. Entering that way you encounter the Mona Lisa pdq. Our youngest stood in front of it for a good ten minutes, just staring. I was thinking, 'cool, she's got a taste for art'. Just about then she turned to me and said, "I don't get it."

Sibu specializes in human-computer interaction, or HCI, a technology that allows computers to respond to human beings appropriately by reading the expression on their faces.

Bad reporting. HCI is the entire study of how humans and computers interact on all levels, and is part of the general field of usability. It is not a piece of software.

RP, can you ping the list for this article? My computer that contains the ping list is refusing to go online.

IIRC, there was another computer program that once decided that the Mona Lisa was a self portrait of Leonardo. If so, then I suppose we can now ascribe the listed emotions to him ;-)

LOL! That was, by any standard, a perfect story. Thanks, I needed that.

I hope 0% of them are Helen Thomas or Maureen Dowd.
