Hi, welcome to another episode of Something You Should Know. Something I've always wondered is why is it that some people are so much more ticklish than other people, and some people aren't ticklish at all? I wonder this because I'm one of those people who is extremely ticklish.

And that's not a characteristic that I enjoy or am proud of or probably shouldn't be saying that because when people find out, then they tickle you and it's not an experience I enjoy. But what's interesting, too, is that no matter how ticklish a person is, it's still almost impossible for anyone to tickle themselves.

According to Paul Bayes of the Institute of Neurology at University College in London, It's because the brain is constantly predicting what is about to happen. Our reaction to being tickled is actually a defense mechanism that works as kind of a non-self detector. The tickle reflex requires a certain amount of surprise.

When self-touch is expected, you don't feel threatened and the reaction is not activated. But even if you know you're about to be tickled, if someone is coming at you and you know they're going to tickle you, the element of surprise is still there because you can't predict the exact time or intensity of the oncoming tickle.

And that anticipation can actually intensify the ultimate feeling of being tickled. And that is something you should know. We have a lot of different ways to measure time. Seconds, hours, minutes, days, months, years, decades, centuries. And pretty much all of them have some reasoning behind them, having to do with the sun or the moon or something. Except one, the week.

We have a seven-day week for no practical reason whatsoever. Yet imagine what life would be like without the week. If you go to the grocery store every week, but we had no week, how would you express that or understand that? Without the week, we would have to have some other way to schedule our lives. We love the week. So where did it come from and why does it seem to work so well?
