Mona Lisa Gets the Dutch Rub

Mona Lisa Gets the Dutch Rub

Just read an article about the Dutch, who apparently have a lot of time on their hands, scanned the Mona Lisa with some new software. The software can detect human emotions on faces, albeit not subtle ones. After working with Windows products for so long I know there is nothing subtle about software anyway. The Dutch concluded that she was smiling because she was 83% happy.

The Dutch, as usual, are wrong. She is smiling in anticipation. She has been sitting for hours while Leonardo paints and she is bored, so to liven things up a bit she lets one go. She can tell the fart has some real potential, especially after the hardboiled eggs and beer she had for lunch (even back then the water was so bad you didn’t dare drink it with out some alcohol in it).

She is smiling with the anticipation of Leonardo’s reaction when that beauty hits his olfactory sensors. Will he ignore it, will he drop his brush and start gagging - the thought makes her smile a bit…
