Around age 23, the average person falls off what researchers call the "humor cliff"; we begin to smile and laugh less and less.

The average 4-year-old laughs 300 times a day.

The average 40-year-old, only 4.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

So, as we get closer to the inevitable dirt nap, things get less funny? Colour me shocked. Smile

On 9/11, one particularly brave man (most likely Frank Reisman; he was the only trader that day above the North Tower impact zone known to have the sort of wilderness experience to make the attempt) decided to try and climb down the tower. He actually made it down about 20 stories before the shock wave and detritus from the South Tower’s collapse finally knocked him down.

I was born with the gift of laughter and a sense the world is mad.

There is a (very) tenuous connection between James Cagney and Clint Eastwood.

Don Siegel, who directed Dirty Harry (and four other Eastwood vehicles) also cut and edited the Montage sequences in Yankee Doodle Dandy.

You can learn about science in DVD extras. Like the medicinal value of laughter.

John Denver wrote his 1974 hit ‘Annie’s Song’ in ten minutes. In a ski lift.

Among ranchers, the term 'Proud Boy' refers to a gelding that thinks he still has his balls.

Do with this information what you will.

Alice in Wonderland Syndrome is a rare neurological disorder that alters perceptions, including making objects appear larger or smaller than they actually are.

So, what men tell women is Alice in Wonderland Syndrome?
