"In the third century B.C. the Greek stoic philosopher Chrysippus died of laughter after giving his donkey wine, then seeing it attempt to feed on figs."

Whelp, I know how I'm going out.

    This one time, at my old apartment, we were doing Mary Jane Milkshakes, and I got so high, that I couldn't stop laughing for what seemed like, FOREVER.
    I even ate Two pieces of Pie and couldn't stop laughing (I coulda choked, don cha know).....

    Man, my cheeks hurt for two days from laughing so much.
    But I made it! ")

      I have laughed for 8 hours on acid and shrooms. Had friends lock me in a closet so me being too noisey didnt make anyone call the cops. I would have been taken away in a straightjacket. My whole body was weak afterward. Especially my face and stomach.

        Funny Mr. M.

        God, I wish that would happen to me.
        Seems like I never laugh anymore.
        :(

        Though I did once have this friend who did this mock-laugh (real deep and slow and stupid sounding) that would then make us really laugh...but when we'd laugh it'd be in the same mock-stupid laughter which would cause us to laugh even more...snowball effect...but that was 20 years ago.

          It's so good for you though..Solid scientific research demonstrates that laughter offers the following benefits:
          Lowering blood pressure
          Strengthening cardiovascular functions
          Reducing stress hormones
          Improving circulation
          Increasing muscle flexion
          Oxygenating the body by boosting the respiratory system
          Boosting immune function by raising levels of infection-fighting T-cells, disease-fighting proteins called Gammainterferon and B-cells, which produce disease-destroying antibodies Triggering the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers...
          Producing a general sense of well-being . en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laughter : )
