Yawning

A friend of mine told me her theory on why yawning is contagious and I think it is the best one I have heard yet.

People by nature are selfish or at least survivalists. When you see someone yawning, your brain registers it as someone else stealing the air you are breathing. So it is an involuntary reaction to try and get it back.

Makes total sense to me.
