Yawning is commonly associated with tiredness, stress, overwork, lack of stimulation and boredom. Though recent studies show it may be linked to the cooling of the brain. For humans, yawning is often triggered by others' yawning and is a typical example of positive feedback. This infectious yawning has also been observed in chimpanzees and dogs. For animals, yawning can serve as a warning signal. For example, Charles Darwin in his book The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals mentions that baboons yawn to threaten their enemies, possibly by displaying large canine teeth. Similarly, Siamese fighting fish yawn only when they see an animal at the same species or their own mirror image and their yawn often accompanies aggressive attack. Guinea pigs also yawn in a display of dominance or anger, displaying their impressive incisor teeth. This is often accompanied by teeth chattering, purring and scent marking. Adelie penguins enjoy yawning as part of their courtship ritual. Penguin couples face off and the males engage in what is described as an ecstatic display opening their beaks and pointing their faces skyward. This trait has also been seen among emperor penguins. Researchers have been attempting to discover why these two species share this trait, despite not sharing a habitat. Furthermore, snakes yawn, both to realign their jaws after a meal and for respiratory reasons, as their trackier can be seen to expand when they do this. Dogs often yawn after seeing people yawn and when they feel uncertain. Some cultures lend yawning to spiritual reasons. The ancient Greeks and classic Maya believed that yawning was a sign that a person's soul was trying to escape from his or her body. Covering the mouth when yawning might then prevent the soul from escaping. Exorcists believe that yawning can indicate that a demon or possessive spirit is leaving its human host during the course of an exorcism. Several superstitions have developed regarding the act of yawning and the harm that the act can do to the individual who is yawning. Part 3.

TRANSCRIPT MC: Good afternoon everybody and welcome back to the show. It's 2.45pm now and we're here with two of the best debaters in the world. Cheng Lijie and Michael O'Donovan. Welcome to the show guys. LIJIE: Thanks for having us. Good to be here. MC: Well Lijie, let's begin with you. You recently took part in a national debate contest in China where your team won hands down. Tell us about this experience. LIJIE: What every year in Beijing they have the semi-final and final of a competition which takes place all throughout the year in China and some other Asian countries who choose to participate. A lot of the topics for the debate this year were quite esoteric. There were some related to bioethics, others related to government policy and several related to morality in everyday life. It was a fascinating experience, although I'm not quite sure how we managed to win. The competition this year was incredibly fierce and many of our opponents were really talented and well prepared. MC: I think perhaps you're being a little too modest there but never mind. What's the trickiest thing about debating in your experience? LIJIE: Well there are some topics which have a lot of depth to them, thus requiring a lot of research and in many cases teaching yourself about the subject first. So you can present your views on it effectively. There was one topic about the societal implications of artificial intelligence for example. I didn't know a thing about it before I started researching it. It can also be quite daunting to present your ideas in front of such a large audience, particularly when your friends and family are there. One slip of the tongue or misplaced adjective and you'll never hear the end of it from them. MC: Let's bring in Michael. You recently competed in the European counterpart to the one in Beijing and got all the way to the semi-final. How does your experience stack up against that of Lijie?
