Always Wondered - Why Are We Ticklish?

from Always Wondered

This week on Always Wondered, why are we ticklish?  Is it a beautiful bonding experience, or a biological form of total betrayal?  We’ll try to make sense of it all.  Also, we live in an era of creative baby names.  But which ones are actually illegal?  We’ll explore the ultimate dos and don'ts of naming.  Plus - what’s the origin of the phrase “giving someone the cold shoulder”?  Learn how the act of ignoring someone has less to do with a bad attitude and more to do with meat!  Join host Rick Peterson as he answers more of the questions you’ve Always Wondered about.
