Chile Forum

g~j think that sometimes folks take themselves and life too seriously
So, we refer you to this... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laughter
Did you know about how laughter can be most beneficial for a person...
This is called Gelotology... the study of laughter and its effects on the body, from a psychological and physiological perspective
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelotology
Unfortunately, the world does not often provide the right conditions for Gelotonia, leaving many people in a state of Gelotosis, or hypogelotonia (you aren't laughing enough)
Modern neurophysiology states that laughter is linked with the activation of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, which produces endorphins after a rewarding activity.
And after all - g~ would rather have a free bottle in front of me, than a prefrontal lobotomy.
And we DO like endorphins, of course!
Ok...ok... enuff theory...

So please, allchileans...
If you come across something that is genuinely worthwhile... please share.
Text is fine... YouTube is fine... mp3 is fine...
And please... try to be current... recycled could be fine... but only if they are truly top-notch
There are far too many "recycled" jokes around these daze that need not be repeated.
But then again... just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder... so might be laughter

So, g~j will introduce this thread...
And hopefully it will have a L O N G and HAPPY life for ALL allchileans.
Now... of the many recent choices that cross our screens...
We choose this one to start off - guaranteed to give a laff - even if you are not Scottish.

Here is another... just to get the ball rolling.
With practical applications too
Clean the inside of your computer screen.
Most of us don't clean our computer screens very often, and it's hard to do the inside
So here is my present to you.
Just click here...http://www.raincitystory.com/flash/screenclean.swf
And presto! the inside of your screen is clean..
You might have to wait a minute until it is completely clean -- be patient!

That's El Puelche's dog!
The good eye contact, the effective labor, the determination to do a good job...how UN Chilean can you get?
Yes, It's El P's dog.

ahhh Chopper Read... up there with Ned Kelly in australian folklore, or so he'd like to be... did you know he wrote children's books too? (and no, that is not my contribution to this bromas thread, still trying to find something worthy...)

The real deal...
