Yawning around the world is a contagious prank

(CBS News) The body has a few functions that could be dubbed "natural pranks." (Many of which are a bit juvenile, tend to be smelly and would never be highlighted here.) Among those functions would definitely be the sleepy-associated, often-involuntary action of the "yawn." (Which has a contagious nature to it that even crosses species.) So go ahead and click play on the video above to watch a yawn go global in this contagious prank that is sure to infect you with laughter.

The cute, clever, world-wide trek to yawn at major exotic locales practically everywhere was created and posted by online prankster Roman Atwood who writes about the clip:

By far the most difficult and time consuming videos I have ever done. Sometimes it took multiple days just to get one good Yawn. Thanks so much for watching and sharing.
On a side note, if anyone is looking to pay someone to yawn around the world, I'm readily available. Getting back on track, a big triple-rainbow salute of clever body function prank done right goes out to Roman Atwood from all of us here at The Feed for the hilarious clip!
