Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.

AUSTRALIA said today it would urgently send fire-fighting experts to Israel to help it combat a massive blaze that has raged for three days, killing 41 people.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard said she had spoken to her Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu to confirm Australia's assistance and convey her condolences over the losses from the Carmel forest blaze in the country's north.
"A team of air base managers and air attack controllers with expertise in controlling or directing fire-fighting aircraft are being deployed to Israel within the next 24 hours," Gillard said in a statement.

Good on ya, mates.
Thanks mates! You’re some of the good guys!

Israel is often the first to send help for a calamity in other countries.
We are grateful for the aid of other’s to help with this fire.
