What’s so funny? Here’s proof that laughter is contagious

What’s so funny? Here’s proof that laughter is contagious December 16, 2011

From a train in Germany, a fit of laughter spreads like a virus — or at least something viral — and YouTubers are hysterically lapping it up:

It’s unclear what the joke that sparked the mass hysterics was, but mobile phone footage uploaded to the video sharing site has caught the imagination of many online viewers. The origin of the laughter appears to a blonde woman sniggering at something on her phone. She is soon joined in her mirth by most of the other passengers. The video, posted by a user called amerking has been viewed more than 1 million times in a week. The popularity of the video may help to dispel the belief that Germany is a humourless nation.

I dare you to watch and not, at least, smile.
