Once the forums close I will lost the opportunity to discover answers to some of the great mysteries of the SL Universe.
1) Why is it that when people read a funny post they spit and dripple the drink they are enjoying, usually coffee or soda, so that it spews down their chin, all over the keyboard, and sometimes out their nose?
I have laughed a lot in my life, and I drink soda and coffee, even a lot of water, and never once in my memory have I lost my ability to keep my drink in my mouth while laughing. Usually I manage to swallow rather than spit it out.
I have seen this done in cartoons, and maybe some little babies spit out their drink, but what is the great mystery about funny posts on the SL forum that makes people spit and dribble all over themselves and their expensive computer equipment.
Other phenomena possibly related to the odd influence of forum humor is leaking urine while reading somethign funny and then having the bizarre need to report that disgusting information in a post.
2) What about the forum drives some members to post information about their private lives that no one cares about?
3) What about the forum drives some members to post a comment in every damn thread their eyes encounter that is usually nonsense.

so, what are you doing this weekend? Great response, and um ... On another note ... I've not really done a spit take IRL, but I've certainly had milk come out my nose from laughing (at Passover ceder no less & Thanksgiving) more than once, but not since puberty. I've NEARLY spit up as an adult, but usually when giddily drunk. _____________________

3) What about the forum drives some members to post a comment in every damn thread their eyes encounter that is usually nonsense. It has to do with possum breeding. I don't think you'd understand. Ask a furry. -Ghoti _____________________

I don't know the answer to that question but the effect seems to be pervasive.  _____________________
