I was perusing one of the university librarys today, and decided to do a little research on everyone's favorite topic. I found the following:

"The Nature of Laughter" by JC Gregory

Written in 1924, contains a chapter on the nature of ticklish laughter, although nothing TOO exciting lies therein.


"Treatise on Laughter" by Laurent Joubert (translated and annotated by Gregory David de Rocher)

Written in 1579, this book contains numerous references to tickling. Also, this book mentions that humans are the most ticklish "on their armpits and toes, especially between the toes where the skin is the smoothest." (paraphrased) I wonder how he found THAT out? (Research at the town stocks?)


Another book, by one Robert Provine, is alleged by famous tickle researcher Catherine Harris to contain two instances of tickling used as torture in mideval or ancient times. Unfortunately, this one is checked out until January 19th, 2002. Probably by one of our own little flock. ;-)

Oh, well...
