I have noted some inconsistencies with your observations below. Perhaps we
are working with different population samples?

I have noted some exceptions to this - most prominently the female represented
here who is relatively common in my test group - although my
observations as to females to males keeps in line with yours.

Just a speculation, perhaps this is to facilitate interaction with their
environment? Or another possibility, perhaps minifigus (incl) has a more
direct relationship to brickus genericus than was previously thought?

Archival information would tend to agree with you, but my recent studies have
shown a virtual explosion in unhappiness. Frowns, sneers and snarls have
propagated throughout recent population increases such that the common
'smiley' is rapidly becoming a rarity.

In general I would agree, but I have noticed an occaisional spontanious rest
period (minifigs will abruptly lie down) which will show no signs of ending
without outside intervention.
