Why is yawning contagious? I was on Skype the other day talking to my girlfriend, and we were still able to give each other the yawns. Weird.

Here are a couple of links that talks about the contagious nature of yawning.

Haha! It is a contagious disease! As soon as I start talking to my wife about my comic, she can’t stop yawning!

I think life would be better if my wife had the Yawns. Whenever she gets the hiccups, she feels compelled to say ‘excuse me’ after every single hiccup.

Yawns are pretty weird. Just thinking about them makes me want to yawn.

Funny! I have a “yawn” idea for a comic, as well, that I plan on doing in the upcoming weeks.

Funny way to show how some folks felt about that movie. Sounds like a number of them got a bad case of the yanks when they watched it.
