Can you die from laughing to hard?
478086
There is a case of a man in Yorkshire or Wales, I forget which, laughing so hard that it caused him to have a heart attack. His fit of laughter was brought on by watching The Goonies with Eccythump. The victim's wife sent a letter addressed to the Goonies to the BBC thanking them "...for helping him die with a smile on his face...because it was how he wanted to have died..." :0)

Unless you remove the duct tape or provide air holes, yes they will die. Even if you do provide air holes and they are not large enough, they can die. I do not know what you are planning, a practical joke, or a hazing or whatever, but doing this can be considered and act of attempted murder. It is not funny in any case.

Your body doesn't make the determination, your mind does. We all have different triggers that start the laugh response, some physical (like tickling), some visual and some aural. It's how our mind perceives that particular circumstance. We all see things differently.

yes! it's proved even medically ,, \n\nwhen you laugh you are using most of your facial muscles and even making the whole body working in a fantastic way ! .... in contrast , being sad , sullen and grim would make your face latent inactive ,, a real proof is what we see in the forehead of nervious people , i mean those folds .\n\nso cheer up !\n\na note : be careful , exceeded laughing is not recommended at all , it have a bad effect on the heart.

Laughter, along with an active sense of humor, may help protect you against a heart attack, according to a recent study by cardiologists at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore. The study, which is the first to indicate that laughter may help prevent heart disease, found that people with heart disease were 40 percent less likely to laugh in a variety of situations compared to people of the same age without heart disease. \n"The old saying that 'laughter is the best medicine,' definitely appears to be true when it comes to protecting your heart," says Michael Miller, M.D., director of the Center for Preventive Cardiology at the University of Maryland Medical Center and associate professor of medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. "We don't know yet why laughing protects the heart, but we know that mental stress is associated with impairment of the endothelium, the protective barrier lining our blood vessels. This can cause a series of inflammatory reactions that lead to fat and cholesterol build-up in the coronary arteries and ultimately to a heart attack."\n\nIn the study, researchers compared the humor responses of 300 people. Half of the participants had either suffered a heart attack or undergone coronary artery bypass surgery. The other 150 did not have heart disease. One questionnaire had a series of multiple-choice answers to find out how much or how little people laughed in certain situations, and the second one used true or false answers to measure anger and hostility. \n\nMiller said that the most significant study finding was that "people with heart disease responded less humorously to everyday life situations." They generally laughed less, even in positive situations, and they displayed more anger and hostility.\n\n"The ability to laugh -- either naturally or as learned behavior -- may have important implications in societies such as the U.S. where heart disease remains the number one killer," says Miller. "We know that exercising, not smoking and eating foods low in saturated fat will reduce the risk of heart disease. Perhaps regular, hearty laughter should be added to the list." \n\nMiller says it may be possible to incorporate laughter into our daily activities, just as we do with other heart-healthy activities, such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator. "We could perhaps read something humorous or watch a funny video and try to find ways to take ourselves less seriously," Miller says. "The recommendation for a healthy heart may one day be exercise, eat right and laugh a few times a day."\n\nIn addition to helping your heart, laughter offers other important health benefits. "People become healthier from laughter," observes Judy Goldblum-Carlton, a humor therapist at the University of Maryland Hospital for Children's Division of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology. "It improves circulation. When you laugh heartily, every organ is being massaged including your heart, lungs and digestive system. Headaches can just go away. When you laugh the endorphins released make you feel this elation. It makes those big decisions seem so much less important."\n\nHumor Yourself\n\nSo how can you make yourself laugh, even when you're angry or tense? And how can you find ways to improve your sense of humor and add more laughter into your life? Goldblum-Carlton offers the following creative ways to incorporate humor into your everyday routine:\n\nFigure out what tickles your funny bone. "You have to figure out what makes you laugh," says Goldblum-Carlton. Some people like slapstick while others prefer a more intellectual type of humor. "Once you isolate what makes you laugh and what turns your knobs, then you can go out and look for these things."\n\n\nRent a funny movie. Goldblum-Carlton suggests videos, like "America's Funniest Home Videos" and other

You ARE breathing while laughing.\n\nPeople laugh in many different ways....big bellowing laughs, snorts, wheezes, etc.\nEach one, in its own right, is a method or part of breathing. (Just like talking involves exhaling (and in some countries inhaling) to perform the action.\n\nThe typical "Hahahahaha" is the exhaling part of breathing. If you continue to enhale without inhaling, you will eventually pass out due to lack of oxygen. Then you will resume breathing normally as a reflex. (And being pass out is not really funny if you are the one doing it, lol)\n\nIf you are a snorter, then you are typically doing both the normal laugh (the exhale) with the occassional snort (which is an inhale) so you can laugh much longer.\n\nHope this helps!

Anything can be funny.  Ever get the giggles over no particular reason?  You try to stop, but all your friend has to do is look at you?  And you can't stop laughing?
