Learning about 'the not so important things': about tickles

Learnt today the usefulness about being tickled. There are 2 kinds of tickle. 1, the subtle one and 2, the forceful one.

And tickle can only happen with foreign objects touching our body, plus only when we aren't alerted.

This idea of being tickled happens from the days of Aristotle and many have asked the questions why but till today, there is no valid scientific explanation on why we laugh when we get tickled.

Now, rodents too also can get tickled! Mice, guinea pigs and rats. The other group of animals would also be the chimps and gorillas.

We naturally laugh when a forceful tickle is executed. However, too much of it will cause irritation.

Now... Why am I learning this and posting it on my blog??
I went on a hangout last weekend.. And i realized how lacking of topics i had for small talks! So I decided it's time to brush up general knowledge and try to relax and not talk about serious stuff all the time.. BlogBooster-The most productive way for mobile blogging.
