Word of the Day: Pandiculation

[Ruthanne]

Pandiculation. This is what happens when you wake up in the morning and stretch. As you stretch, your muscles might go rigid for a short time, which can sometimes be uncomfortable. It also describes that wonderful, or terrible, combination of being extremely sleepy, stretching and yawning at the same time. Now, when this happens to you, you’ll know what to call it!

Isn't it interesting that lower animals and human animals do the very same thing? Yawning is another.

Well we all come from the same place and I don't believe the other animals are so much lower--just different.
