Laughter[edit source]
Laughter or laughing was invented sometime in the late 1700's and is a common bodily function which has been proven to be linked with several different phenomena. These range from being tickled in a spot which nobody touches to ritualistic human sacrifice (possibly linked with Christians and other deity worshiping cultists). Many people have the ability to laugh, and up to 2300 people gain the ability every day.
Origin[edit source]
Laughter is thought to been invented in the late 1700's or possibly the early 1800's by Paul Laughing. Paul originally wanted the act of what we know today as laughing to be named carrying (after his wife Carrie). This remained adamant until approximately 6.15 PM when Paul returned home from work (Paul worked at the Ministry of Names and Verb Innovation) to tell his wife the news. After his wife explained to Paul that carrying was already a verb (meaning to carry), Paul renamed the verb to laughing (coincidentally Paul's sirname). It took three weeks for the change to take effect; during this time people were 'carrying' at some of the worlds first jokes.
The Best Medicine[edit source]
Laughter is widely considered to be the best medicine. But this theory has often been thrown into doubt - laughter has never really cured anything. Neurofen, cough syrup and chemotherapy cure sickness. Laughter just makes all of these things seem a lot funnier, enabling others to laugh at your misfortune. When was the last time you laughed yourself better when you broke your arm in that skiing accident? I’m willing to bet never. Laughter is nothing more than an expression of amusement and should not be used as medicinally to cure any ailments.
Cause of Laughter[edit source]
Numerous things could make people laugh. And amusing knock-knock joke, a rather humorous episode of the Simpsons or maybe seeing someone in extreme physical agony or a state of morbid depression. Laughing is not, however, a medicine. Whatever it is, it is certainly not a chance for you to try walking on that broken limb again, or to return to your habit of breaking bricks with your face.
Effects of Laughter[edit source]
Laughter is often seen to cause happiness amongst communities, families and other social groups. This happiness is often at the expense of others.
Retaliation[edit source]
Many jokes have caused people to lash out. For instance Hitler (who was a painter at the time) was in the middle of a tranquil scene of a picnic. Hitlers Jewish friend made a stab at Adolf's sexuality. Hitler retaliated with a mass genocide.
Too Much Laughter[edit source]
A reported incident in 500 BC left famous mathematician Pythagoras dead. Pythagoras' wife said told investigators that her husband had woken up ranting and raving about his entire lifework being pointless. He shouted something about nobody caring about triangles and then burst into hysterics. Seventeen hours later, Pythagoras was found in the fetal position, tears of blood dripping from his eyes and the biggest smile ever seen on a dead persons face. This incident is just one of many too much laughter scenarios.
