Super Fact of the Day: You can?t tickle yourself!

It’s impossible to tickle ourselves. The reason is the brain’s cerebellum, which is responsible for predicting our body’s movement.

The intensity that we feel when we tickle ourselves is not the same that we would experience when done by somebody else. Thus instead of writhing with discomfort or pleasure, we are calm.
