Jumping Frenchmen's disease
George Miller Beard recorded individuals who would obey any command given suddenly, even if it meant striking a loved one; the Jumping Frenchmen seemed to react abnormally to sudden stimuli.[3] The more common and less intense symptoms consisted of jumping, yelling, and hitting. These individuals exhibited outrageous bursts, and many described themselves as ticklish and shy. Other cases involved echolalia (repeating vocalizations made by another person) and echopraxia (repeating movements made by another person).[4][5][6] Beard noted that the men were "suggestible"[7] and that they "could not help repeating the word or sounds that came from the person that ordered them any more than they could help striking, dropping, throwing, jumping, or starting".[7]

Jack Jumping in Maine?
Does anyone over there jack jump? I'm coming over from VT to visit a friends camp in the Madison area in February, hoping to take some runs!
If you don't know what I'm talking out, check out the Jack Jump World Championships from Mt Snow. Or these guys at Jay Peak.
In any case, I'm looking to bring some jumpers. Doesn't have to be a ski area, although that's ideal, could be a steep snowy road or a sledding hill.
Any thoughts? Also, if you haven't tried it, you should totally build one. Most fun ever.
what type of jumping spider is this? found in maine
ID? I found about 5 of these under my house, I'm not convinced they're jumping spiders though. Maine, USA reddit.com/gallery/od0gze
