This link was posted on PVP Online. It's an article that talks about how comedy stimulates parts of your brain and you like that "reward" and want to do it again. I thought it was pretty funny that humor could be "addictive."
But then I stopped thinking about it because I didn't want to get addicted to laughing about that.

urg, I hate psychology. If you ever want to make life seem like a long boring and painful math problem, just take psychology, and never worry about free will again.

Psychology? Hrm. That's article seemed to fit more along the lines of Physiology, to me *shrug*. In any case, I'm forwarding that link to my Phys. instructors :)

i dunno...do you lactate, suffer from short term and long term memory loss, get the munchies, or get bloodshot eyes when you laugh?

if not, then laughing may not be just like smoking pot.

More like your brain rewards you with feeling goooood for looking at funny stuff and laughing. So you end up with a response-reward system in your head that encourages laughter and being funny.

Warning: Web comics are gateway comics, frequently leading to the use of heavier, or more hard-core humor materials. If see or hear your friends, children or loved ones laughing more than usual, they may be under the effects of humorous materials! seek assistance for them right away, there's always hope.

first giggle is free, then we talk payment plans for full on chuckles, guffaws, laughs, and snickers.

snorfles though, have been and always will be free. Supply your own pepsi though.

Woah! Pot smoking causes lactation? Horrible horrible vision... Bill and Ted's Excellent Breastfeeding Adventure.

edit-that would be smoking not smokering
