This Woman Makes the Same Face. At the Nearly the Same Time. Everyday.
Yoko Shono is up bright and early daily for morning show Mezamashi TV, which is kind of like Today for Japan. And what seems like everyday at the nearly the exact same time, she makes what seems to be the exact same face. You must see it to believe it.
Noticed by 2ch, Japan’s largest online forum, Shono’s smile is what’s called, “ahiru guchi” (アヒル口), or “duck mouth” in English. It’s not uncommon for celebrities—male and female—to make pouty duck faces. No biggie!

After I crunched the numbers and battled the Internet, my best guess was about $117,250,000. To put this into perspective, Iron Man’s house is more than twice the price of Wayne Manor. You’ll never hear me say that Iron Man is better than Batman, but someone out there is going to put a checkmark in Tony Stark’s column.
Here’s a handy chart to break it down:
