Yawning

I like yawning most of the time, except when I yawn at the computer and gleek on the screen, creating a bunch of little rainbow spit dots that I have to wipe off. Also, sometimes I yawn while someone is talking and then I feel rude. There are all kinds of hypotheses about why people yawn, and some of them are really stupid. Like one scientist thinks it's a means of showing empathy (yep, empathy), and another thinks it's a way of keeping the brain cool because if people have a bunch of ice packs tied to their heads they don't yawn as much. These ideas aren't as dumb as, say, David Icke's theories about a secret race of reptilian humanoids ruling the world, but they're still pretty silly.
