World Laughter Day
Hey all! Happy World Laughter Day! In celebration of this momentous — and hilarious! — occasion, I give you this YouTube clip:

Ha! Also, it’s been a good week for learning things while surfing the web. Here are a few things I found out while writing this post:
1. World Laughter Day was started in India in 1998 with the intention of building up a global consciousness of brotherhood and friendship through laughter;
2. The day was founded by Dr. Madan Kataria, the same person who founded laughter yoga;
3. Laughter Yoga is a form of yoga involving self-triggered laughter.
First: pen spinning tournaments. Now: laughter yoga. According to Wikipedia, laughter yoga is a growing phenomenon with worldwide support. In fact, there are more than 6,000 laughter yoga clubs all over the world.
I know I say this all the time, but, seriously, who knew?
Talk to you soon, OWL readers!

Funny!!!! My mom does laughter yoga. It is kinda funny.
Anybody else excited about Scott Pilgrim VS The World? It’s tagline is “a epic tale of epic epicness”. Good for a laugh, am I right?
I really like the first one. I’m not a baby fan, so I didn’t find the second one particularly amazing.
