And now for something fairly random, "Tickling" in Wikipedia

[jjtsasaki]

Like many of us, I'm on the look out for "mainstream" mentions of tickling.

Here is an entry in The Free Encyclopedia, Wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tickling

Check out the links.

Cheers!

Where can we read this article ?
<I>
Yoon, C.K. Don't make me laugh: scientists tackle tickling. J. NIH Research, 9:34-35, 1997.
</I>
I don't know how to interpret the numbers and punctuation that surround them

Here is some info...

I believe "J. NIH Research" means "Journal of NIH Research"--unfortunately, I wasn't able to find an URL. This title may be somewhat difficult to find--although it's available at Harvard Medical School, it's not available at ASU.

"9" means "Volume 9" of "1997." "9:34-35" means pages 34 through 35 of volume 9--this isn't a very long article.

Nice find. The one thing I object to in the article is the phrase "similar to chlidren who enjoy being tickled." Somebody should clue the author in that there are lots of adults who enjoy it as well. 😀
