Now this is gonna really make you laugh!

Are you ready to really let it rip?

Actually, I just wanted to point you to a recent paper, reported here that finds increased blood endorphin and growth hormone levels in subjects who have the expectation of imminent laughter. Its the "anticipatory mirthful laughter experience", leading to long-lasting positive effects on stress reduction and immune responses.

Did you feel the rush?

So laughter, even anticipating laughter, may produce better results than prayer? I like it! Anonymous @ Sat Apr 08, 09:40:00 AM EDT: Post a comment
