The best laugh

laughter

A close friend of mine has the best laugh in the known universe. It takes one Kate peal of laughter and everyone around her feels good. Spirits soar. Her laugh is so infectious that you can't help but laugh too, even if you have no idea what Kate is laughing about.


And now, 30 years after I first heard that magic laugh, I have discovered why it is so special.

Professor Michael Owren and a team from Georgia State University, Atlanta, have just published the results of a study in which volunteers were played nearly 50 different kinds of recorded laughter and asked to rate them.

The winner was a genuine, spontaneous, open-mouth laughter which used the vocal chords (as opposed to a muted snigger).

And the most infectious laughter of all, according to the study, comes from women.

Especially Kate.

The chimp is laughing because he's just read a Consumption Malfunction post.

You can't spell champion without a chimp on.
