Funnies!!!!!

I was recently introduced to a blog called Hyperboyle and a half. It is the funniest blog I have come across in a really long time. What a great blog. If you are in need of a good chuckle, a smile or had a really bad day, I strongly recommend that you log on to Hyperboyle and a half and read on. I guarantee you will laugh-its that funny.

Did you know:

• 100 laughs is equivalent to 15 minutes of cardio on a bike
• Laughing release endorphins that have pain relieving properties that are similar to morphine
• 15 muscles contract in our face when we laugh
• Laughing exercises the diaphragm and contracts muscles in our abs for a good belly workout
• Laughing reduces stress hormones like cortisol, epinephrine and dopamine
• The average person laughs 13 times a day
