Yes. Spinal Cord injury doesn't affect anything below the level of injury. For instance, a C4 injury would result in loss of feeling and movement from the shoulders down. Any higher would impact breathing. But facial expressions and speech are usually unaffected, although speech can be temporarily affected by the presence of a ventilator, in the case of a high injury. What you may be thinking of is locked-in syndrome, a rare condition caused by a brain-stem stroke, where everything is affected besides the eyes.

What is a type of attack where an intruder is able to forge a biometric sample?

Methods used to successfully forge biometric input have included using a jelly copy of a finger with the fingerprint embedded on it and using a photograph of an individual in place of their face for a facial scan. The better biometric devices will incorporate methods to prevent these types of methods from succeeding, but both these two methods and others have been demonstrated as still working on some biometric authentication devices still on the market. There is also the potential problem of "splicing". Some formats for smart cards sign each piece of information separately, so an attacker can steal the legitimate signed identity of another user and splice it into his own biometric information. To combat this, better smart cards sign the entire set of data including both the user identity and their biometric information.

Why do girls laugh when you do nice things for them if you are a 21 year old guy?

Usually when a girl responds by laughing it is because she is delighted with what you have done. If she laughs because she thinks what you have done is odd, you should be able to tell from the type of laugh, her facial expression, and her body language. If you have difficulty interpreting other people's facial expressions you may want to talk to your family doctor as this can indicate a problem with how you process information.
