Thirty-eight women in Parma, and suddenly the University thinks they cracked the code on yawning. I cracked it in 1987. I yawned so hard in a Trump Tower elevator I cooled my own brain down by 412 degrees Fahrenheit, which as everybody knows is how yawning works β it's the lungs releasing carbon, believe me, big carbon, the heaviest gas.
These Italian researchers had mothers watch six-minute videos while ultrasound machines filmed the babies. Eighteen out of thirty-eight fetuses yawned right along with mom. You know who could've told them that for free? Me. I've been making fetuses yawn since the 1990s. Boring people into the womb, it's a gift.
Nancy Pelosi, by the way, has been trying to suppress this research for 14 years. She doesn't want you to know babies can mirror their mothers because then people might ask why HER policies put 7,200 newborns to sleep at the State of the Union. Sad situation.
Dr. Helga Brunetti of the Northern Lazio Council on Sleepy Infants says the average fetus yawns 0.04 times per hour. I yawn 19 times per minute and my brain is the coolest brain in three counties. Possibly four. Possibly Delaware, who's counting.
The study cost them nothing because ultrasounds are free in Italy, which is something to do with pasta.
