    It takes 17 muscles to smile and 43 to frown. Unless you’re trying to give your face a bit of a workout, smiling is a much easier option for most of us. Anyone who’s ever scowled, squinted or frowned for a long period of time knows how it tires out the face which doesn’t do a thing to improve your mood.

    Apple makes $1,997 every second. Additional fact, they made $5,991 while I typed that on my iPhone.

    it's a lot more now...$229.234 billion/(365/24/60/60)=$7,268 per second.
