Well after spending the weekend with my son, he gave my the latest thing to talk about on here by asking one simple question. A question that i just couldnt answer! - 'Why do you laugh when your tickled?'
Well ive looked around and not found much, a lot of research (for some reason) has gone into why you can't tickle yourself. Scientists think that tickling could have been one of the first ways early humans showed that they liked each other. Scientists call this "non-verbal communication", quite how they know this I really couldn't say. I've also seen that some people beleive that you can actually be tickled to death and in Medieval times this actually took place?!
