I just listened to a great episode of my favorite radio show yesterday and I thought I would share it with you because I think most of the people in the house will really like the show too. http://www.wnyc.org/shows/radiolab/
There is a great episode about laughter and it has a story about this case in Tanzania in 1962, when this one girl starts laughing at a school and it soon spreads throughout the school and villages. They try and get the girls to stop laughing, but they turn violent. They have to close down 2 schools and everything. They still don't know what the cause is.
Also, believe it or not they believe that rats as well as humans laugh. They did experiments with tickling rats and they make squeeky noises that one scientist is calling laughing!! Anyways, its an interesting show, all the episodes are pretty good, so check it out!
