I've heard that this Saturday November 30 is International Cybersecurity Day or, same thing, Information Security Day. I'm sure that right now the three or four readers of this blog (and I'm including my four-year-old son) are Googling it (my son as well) to check it out and have come across other days like April 6.

According to a recent survey conducted by Gallup in the United States, adults laugh much more at weekends than on work days. While children laugh as many as 400 times a day, adults over 35 only laugh 15 times. Prestigious business schools like Wharton, Sloan, Harvard and the London Business School say that every "guffaw" brings a host of benefits for the company. Laughter relieves stress and boredom, boosts interpersonal relations in the workplace, enhances creativity and even improves productivity.
