People Make the Same Face When They're in Pain as When They're Having Intense Pleasure:
According to a study by Hebrew University of Jerusalem, your O-face looks REALLY similar to the face you make when you drop something heavy on your foot.
Researchers found that it's tough to tell the difference between the facial expression of a person in extreme pain, anger, or grief . . . or a person experiencing intense pleasure.
People were shown pictures of tennis players right after they either won a match, or got angry on the court. When people saw the player's body language, they could tell the difference between pain and pleasure . . . but NOT when they just saw the face.
The same thing happened when people saw pictures of people who were experiencing other emotional highs and lows . . . like crying at a funeral . . . or winning a reality show.
