If Laughter is a Symphony … Why Do I Have Chills?

vache-qui-rit.jpg

This website, where you can make a symphony out of other people’s laughter, is disturbing. I swept my mouse over a few faces by chance and am suffering from serious eek!-factor, probably because The Exorcist has warped my perspective of all things sweet and cuddly.

If you can get past the whole symphony-of-mirth thing, check out the cookbook for recipes like the Laughing Turkey Wrap. It might come in useful if you ever want to spark an intervention.

Created by Lowe Roche, Toronto for Laughing Cow, the site generates traffic from a print campaign with peel-away messages trussed up like pieces of cheese. See how pretty, even beside a pee stick?

Psychology says the adults who bond most intensely with dogs share a common trait. They are high-empathy individuals who spent years managing other people’s emotions and found that the dog was the first relationship where their emotional labor wasn’t required and their presence alone was enough
