Seriously, as I read this question and got to the word yawn I did yawn myself.
Isn't the word yawn weird.

Hello again. Well I heard about an experiment, that was done in a cinema. People in the movie were often yawning and soon all the cinema was yawning too! I guess that this proves that yawning IS contagious.

The part of the brain that makes us yawn is not consciously controlled. The system which controls yawning gets instructions from reticular activating system (RAS) which controls things like waking up, going
to sleep, and yawning too. So you see, just the same way you can't control when to sleep or wake up so does yawning. oops there I yawn again... I must leave this topic then
