Still pictures don't really do it for me. I felt the temptation on the really yawn-y pictures, like the one where she was covering her mouth with her hand. posted by invitapriore at 5:50 PM on July 3, 2005
I felt the yawn coming on as soon as I read the link.

Yup, about six or seven images along. My cat yawning and stretching makes me yawn, too. posted by alumshubby at 5:52 PM on July 3, 2005
Didn't make me need to yawn, but I needed to open my mouth. posted by kenko at 5:59 PM on July 3, 2005
I really don't get the internet sometimes. Interesting, educational or really well done sites can languish for ages with no major traffic. Someone slaps together a few yawn pictures and it gets meme'd all over the place.

No. Which is pretty amazing as usually just seeing the word "yawn" makes me yawn.

I watched it for a few rotations and was feeling pretty smug that I hadn't yawned. I let my guard down just as I was about to hit the 'back' button, and it got me. posted by lisa g at 6:57 PM on July 3, 2005

Not at all. Either because I'm super awesome and have total bodily control, or because the site (and the post) is super lame. I suspect both of these factors are at work.

Also, the statistic thingy is flawed. It's just a hitcounter.
