Why is yawning contagious? I was on Skype the other day talking to my girlfriend, and we were still able to give each other the yawns. Weird.

Here are a couple of links that talks about the contagious nature of yawning.

Trapped

Another fart joke… but this time it was inspired by a true event. Couple days ago I got into an elevator occupying just me and one other person. I smelt fart. It wasn’t me so obviously it was the other person. He got off soon afterwards. However, bunch of people got on the next floor and they all gave me a nasty look. “It wasn’t me!” Shaggy.

Did you notice that most of the Angry Birds can’t fly? That goes for Big Bird as well. Penguins can’t fly either. I guess all cute avians are grounded for us to admire. ;)
