Why was 18 chosen as the age to become an adult?
"Originally, the ‘universal age of an adult’ was 21. This is because at 21, a squire would be sworn in as a knight. However, during WWI, there were so many deaths that the draft age of 21 was lowered to 18 and it just sort of stuck that way."

#3 We laugh because a chemical is released by the brain in response to unusual or unexpected events just like all our other emotions. It's a well known, measured, and proven scientific fact. But WHAT makes us laugh can be unique to each individual. Most mammals and many other animals have the capacity to laugh.
