I enjoy finding obscure, unusual facts online. Sometimes they might be strange, sometimes informative, sometimes relatable, funny or just odd. I'll let you decide what category these facts I found are to you. BLINDNESS -I've noticed many blind performers like Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles and Ronnie Milsap smile despite having never seen someone smile before. Without a reference I found that odd. Seems It is just a natural human reaction. ASTRONAUTS/MOON LANDING -Did any of the Astronauts who landed on the moon leave anything unusual behind? Yes, the last man to walk on the moon, Gene Cernan, promised his daughter he'd write her initials on the moon. He did leave behind some graffiti in the form of her initials, "TDC." Now that's an example of fatherly love and an everlasting tribute to her! FAKE LAUGHING -Have you ever tried to laugh on purpose even though you weren't watching anything funny. Well, If you fake laugh long enough, you'll actually start to laugh really hard. Hope you enjoyed these interesting, cool, humorous facts. Which fact did you find the most unusual or interesting?

They say 'fake it till you make it' so it seems it works with laughter. Interesting fact about blind people smiling.

Yes, the fake laughing does work! -Stevie Wonder could arguably be the most famous blind person in the music business. Blind since shortly after his birth Wonder was a child prodigy and he had his first hit song at age 13.

I have a blind cousin, she smiles often but not like Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles. Maybe because they are entertainers.

Perhaps they are really enjoying the moment while performing for the audience. -Stevie Wonder could arguably be the most famous blind person in the music business. Blind since shortly after his birth Wonder was a child prodigy and he had his first hit song at age 13.

I think smiling is a natural reaction. We don’t have to be taught how to do it, the way we have to be taught to read or write. And this made me smile.

Certain facial expressions are innate and not visually learned, it's not only the smile, but also anger, sadness, emotion.. That said, Ray Charles became blind when he was 7 years old... so he had seen how to smile for sure.

I think many times feelings follow actions, so the fake laugh could turn authentic. When we act grateful, we start to believe it.

It is interesting the blind laugh more and exhibit positivity despite not being able to see others' reaction. We will do well to learn from them how to be grateful for all the blessings.

That does seem to be the case. Instead of being bitter over their circumstance they accept it as a challenge. The blind can see things more clearly oftentimes than some with sight, who go about their existence blind to the world.
