Just some things to make us laugh...

Funny Stuff.Laughing usually doesn't hurt but even when it does it can help you stay healthy and happy too! Other than the obvious *ahem*, is there anything the internet is better for than laughing yourself into a coughing fit? If you like jokes, or puns (that one is awesome - by the way), or people setting their faces on fire (my personal favorites), it's all out there.

Fantastic. I spent many an evening of the gee-this-new-Internet-is-Swell days perusing joke sites.

People setting their faces on fire was very funny.

Jesus Christ, it's like a cross between America's Funniest Home Videos and Faces of Death. OK, not exactly "death," just panic and screaming and pain. And not exactly funny either.

Well, we spent happy evenings jumping over campfires, but deliberately setting yourself on fire? Gosh.

When I want a good laugh, I just go to MetaTalk.

I don't understand the last link. Why were they so surprised that he caught fire? Wasn't that what he was TRYING to do?

for those of us without internet techonology, there is the simple practice of laughing at other people laughing.

eustatic, that's seriously one of the most disturbing and scariest things I've ever seen!

One year at a Superbowl party somebody there (a dumbass) took a flaming shot. A second later, he burped liquid fire, which proceeded to run down his chin and neck, and start his shirt on fire. His tongue sloughed off a few layers of skin, and it was immediately after that that he was taken to the hospital.

What a fucking dumbass.
