Massive Extinction of a Specie Reported ('Homo-Sepian Sense Humorous Sarcasmus')

Recently it was discovered, specie which was in abundance on planet earth from more than 50,000 years [1] (See footnote [1] based on your religious orientation) is soon to be extinct. Apparently cause of this massive extinction has been blamed to be 'other person's feelings.' Common name for this specie is 'human-being' and in scientific community, it is commonly referred as 'Homo-Sepian Sense Humorous Sarcasmus'. Common traits of this specie are good sense of humor, ability to laugh at others using almost-extinct tool known as sarcasm, also many-a-times with self-deprecated humor.

Sense of humor is an ability which produces a state of mind in which humans experience euphoria, happiness, smirking, smiling, laughter, sometimes bliss or as a layman would put it 'good ol' fun'. A quick literature review will show that it was good for human brain, heart, as well as facial muscles. The feeling of giddiness produced by sense of humor was also known to release certain chemicals in brain, such as endorphin, dopamine and serotonin which are believed to be important ones in brain/human development and for overall well-being of the person.

Scientists working on this extinction and particularly 'Homo-Sepian Sense Humorous Sarcasmus' revealed that cause of this extinction was other person's feelings. Sarcastic Sense of humor at different levels may be/can be enjoyed at the expense of others, especially by laughing at others, their deficiencies on which they don't have any control, their gaffes in public or certain personality traits.

In addition to laughing at others, self-deprecated sense of humor is good, jolly way to make others laugh in social situations. It was reported that only few were able to practice this difficult art.

If you know somebody who belongs to this specie, help Mother Nature to save them. Let them take shots at you while others laugh at you, perhaps you can also laugh when you are not target of sarcasm. There is no known medicine for stopping extinction -- other than helping this specie grow abundantly.

You can do that by being more open, more receiving, keeping in mind life is limited so why not spend it enjoying and laughing and also by regular doses of hit sitcom Seinfeld, HBO serial Curb Your Enthusiasm.

You can help. We can do it.
