Oh, isn't that the truth! My husband and I go back and forth forever as soon as one of us starts it. I think that's probably one of the many unsolved mysteries of the human machine.

It's an unconscious reflex like any other. I cannot say exaxctly the mechanism, but it's some kind of automatic reaction... We have lots of automatic reactions, that we simply do not notice! Let's put it to the test: Any reactions? ...again:

It's a given scientific fact, pal. I think it's more our human signal that triggers the same response. Anyhow, I am not a scientist. I just think it's just it. lol

Yeah I have wondered that. I have never had an answer to it though. People just say it is contagious and I don't get how.

its a social thing, people unconsciously want to fit in so they imitate their peers. laughing is also just the same way, you laugh when someone else laughs.
