Diabolical

The below photo just in from Gotham...which made me think of...
the Joker...of course...which fit well with...
the update that the Positive Psychology (yes, that does seem like an oxymoron in a "prozac nation") Network which stated that studies into the act of smiling have found that when women smile, smiling is positively associated with positive emotion but when men smile, smiling is negatively associated with negative emotion.  Seems a little misleading and/or convoluted and/or diabolical...aren't women supposed to be the enigmatic of the genders?  Just suggestin'...

Anyhow, in summary, the study posits that "positive emotion is a strong positive predictor of smiling for women but not for men, and negative emotion is a strong negative predictor of smiling for men but not for women."  So, there.  Chew on that, Batman and Robin.

Life sometimes can be diabolical.
diabolical:–adjective

  having the qualities of a devil; devilish; fiendish; outrageously wicked
