[edit] Notes & Queries

Suprise, what does it meen? Being 'surprised' is an emotion, and being surpised isn't always good. You can get a 'good' surprise, for example a surprise birthday party and you can get a bad surprise that you might not like. For example a gigantic spider on your head. Both of these surpises make you react differently and therefore make you feel differently, depending on the surprise.

JA: There is a "tension/relief" theory in aesthetics which says that the pleasant affect is due to a quick release from the primary unpleasant affect of shock, tension, or uncertainty. Jon Awbrey 05:56, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A comment from a Trekker

That's a fine picture of Deanna Troi from Star Trek: The Next Generation. (Image is copyright CBS Paramount Television).--Megamanfan3 17:15, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Would it be at all possible to submit a picture other than one from a television show? Raises questions about the page's supposed "objectivity," does it not?

[edit] Illustration gone

I have taken the liberty to unilaterally remove the illustration. It looked to much like a photoshopped caricature to be suitable as an illustration for this kind of article; this isn't Uncyclopedia after all. Jonas Liljeström (talk) 13:19, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
