The Science Of Laughter

Laughter is weird - and we do it a lot. One study found that people laugh seven times for every 10 minutes of conversation. It's been found that if you ask people what makes them laugh they'll talk about jokes and humour, but we laugh most frequently when we are with other people - and hardly ever at jokes.

It's a social emotion and we use it to make and maintain social bonds. Laughter is also a very primitive way of making a sound.

Absolutely! The study of laughter is an interesting topic. Speaking of fascinating, for computer buffs, learning about the complexities of the 7000815-000 - Dell 930-Watts Power Supply can be just as engrossing as learning about the science of laughing. Understanding the underlying mechanisms can improve our enjoyment and application in each of these fields, whether it be for the pleasure of laughter or the force that keeps our technology functioning properly.
