REAL LIFE NEWS: SEE, I TOLD YOU BEING GRUMPY WAS GOOD FOR YOU

by Hazed

You probably think that being happy is good for you, but you would be wrong. It turns out that happiness kills!

Researchers have discovered that happy people die younger than their more grumpy peers. Children rated "highly cheerful" at school ended up dying at a younger age than their class mates who were more reserved.

Why would this be? Probably because they are more likely to lead carefree lives, full of danger, and have unhealthy lifestyle choices. Don't worry, be happy, eat bad food and take part in risky activities!

Plus, if you are too cheerful you can annoy other people - especially if you show your joy at inappropriate times - and this can rouse people to anger, which also increases the risk you will come to harm. Laugh at a funeral and someone is likely to punch you.
