I got a score of 17 out of 20 on the BBC's fake smile text:
www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/mind/surveys/smiles/index...
"Most people are surprisingly bad at spotting fake smiles. One possible explanation for this is that it may be easier for people to get along if they don't always know what others are really feeling.
Although fake smiles often look very similar to genuine smiles, they are actually slightly different, because they are brought about by different muscles, which are controlled by different parts of the brain.
Fake smiles can be performed at will, because the brain signals that create them come from the conscious part of the brain and prompt the zygomaticus major muscles in the cheeks to contract. These are the muscles that pull the corners of the mouth outwards.
Genuine smiles, on the other hand, are generated by the unconscious brain, so are automatic. When people feel pleasure, signals pass through the part of the brain that processes emotion. As well as making the mouth muscles move, the muscles that raise the cheeks – the orbicularis oculi and the pars orbitalis – also contract, making the eyes crease up, and the eyebrows dip slightly."

The BBC news website put up one of my Evening News pictures today as part of its week of local newspaper coverage (or something like that). That's it at the top right.
I've been taking pictures of these boards for years now, and I've got 'undreds and 'undreds of 'em, but I haven't put many up on Flickr because, individually, they're all a little dull. They'll look great once I print them all out and cover a massive wall with them, though.
Here's the original.
