Has anyone else noticed that when ever someone yawns, everyone who sees it also yawns? I think I may have figured out why…

Theory # 1: As the initial yawner opens his mouth and inhales all the air in front of his mouth, he creates a vaccuum directly in front of him, which in turn disruptes the perfectly balanced air pressure around him. Since we are created in the image of God, we consciosly and subconsciously desire balance and unity. Our subconscious selves then try to return our immediate environment to balance and we yawn to achieve this.

Theory # 2: When we see someone yawn, it reminds us how tired we ourselves are and we yawn.
