Re: Laughter...What Is It?

Well, from a chemist's perspective....
when one laughs, your body secrets endorphins and other chemical goodies that relieve stress, and just make use feel better overall. That's why sometimes when humans experience intense emotions (such as pain, or sadness) we end up laughing, even if it seems completely out of context.
Out brain "knows" what is going on and tries to cheer us up. Remember, when it all comes down to it, our bodies only care about ourselves..... if that makes sense. haha.
