Laughter can be a perfectly symmetrical meme in that the mere sound of laughter is capable of infecting and inducing others to laugh themselves, creating the snowball effect of the most successful viral ideas.

Damn you caught me laughing. Nice one.

Laughing feels so good.

it virtually disappears when we lack an audience.

oops mistake - the above was meant to be in a quote box.

Strangely, I laugh the longest and the loudest when I am alone with my own thoughts. But then, that could also be considered a sign of insanity. Also been known to laugh heartily in my sleep.

Michellezm, I do the same thing. When I'm alone, I laugh much louder and don't hold back if something cracks me up. I tend to be more cautious and less dramatic in public. Especially in groups. Depending on what's said, sometimes, not everyone finds it humorous.

But, girl, I've never known anyone who laughs in their sleep. I would think that would be a good thing though!

michell I do the same thing. I think it's a good sign when we can laugh when we're alone.

I have fabulously funny cats, so I laugh ALL the time!!

Oooh sexy image of that bride laughing

I have heard people giggle in there sleep.
Yawning is also infectious.

Aww, those oictures were so cute. I have never figured out how to clip from flickr. I can't get the pictures to clip. I can't save them and email that way either, coz all I get is a dumb spaceball gif.

I wanted to email the photo below, but can't. Any workarounds or do I just have to send the entire page? That sort of defeats the purpose of clipping it though. Any tips Alan, to get around those annoying spaceballs?

Here's the pic I wanted to clip and email:

I found the pic via the view source thingy, but it's pretty time consuming and not what you need when you just want to email something while wilfing. Is that the only way to get to the pic itself?
