Bullying is one form of violence that seems to have increased in recent years, although it is not clear if the increase reflects more incidents of bullying at school or perhaps greater awareness of bullying as a problem.

Student bullying is one of the most frequently reported discipline problems at school: 26% of elementary schools, 43% of middle schools, and 25% of high schools reported problems with bullying in 1999-2000.

How contagious is your yawn ?

 

We all know yawning is contagious, but can we measure how contagious is it? or can we somehow engineer a yawn to become perfectly contagious? According to this interesting NPR story, Robert Provine, a professor of psychology at the University of Maryland, try to design a 100% contagious yawn.

 

"A number of studies found that a medley of ordinary yawns on video played to a classroom for five minutes would induce a responsive yawn in 55% of the audience. So that was his starting point: could he design a yawn powerful enough to move from a 55% response right up to Total Yawn-ness?".

 

The results? no matter what the Prof. Provine tried, he could not make a yawn with more 55% response rate.

SCIENTIFIC CLASSIFICATION -

MILF: Mommialis Coitusdesirus

Cougar: Wrinklithicae Hornithalia

 

 

DEFINITION -

MILF: An acronym for Mom I'd Like to F*ck, the term gained widespread popularity after it was used in the film, American Pie. Some MILFs may still be married, but the recently divorced are the only ones you can safely pursue. (Unless you want her husband hunting you.) Some may eventually develop into full-blown Cougars.

 

Cougar: A woman generally over 40, who has "been around the mountain" a time or two. She may be long divorced, or in the case of particularly predatory Cougars, may never have been married.
