And other stories from the stranger side of life
When you fall in love people can sense it in your laughter, reported The Times. According to research led by the University of Baltimore, it takes only a few moments for people to distinguish between the “pleasant-sounding” laugh of friends and the “more baby-like, more submissive” laugh of those in early romances. Laughter between friends, untrammelled by the “emotional volatility and craving associated with romantic love”, sounds calmer and less submissive than laughter between new lovers, said Professor Sally Farley, lead author of the study.
