It's now official; the legendary "Mona Lisa's smile" may seem enigmatic because she is, in fact, a blend of many different emotions.

The Renaissance masterpiece was analyzed by a computer, to reveal that Mona Lisa is 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful and 2 percent angry.

Heard an interview yesterday with the guy who did the research. The interviewer wasn't taking it entirely seriously and opined that if Leonardo farted it might explain the other feelings, one after the other .

So she was 100% happily sitting for da Vinci when a passing lackey farted. She was then disgusted by the smell, a bit angry that the lackey would dare do such a thing, and fearful that someone might think that it was her.

Edited to say "great minds think alike".
