all about KISS.

-The First documented kiss appears in India's ancient Vedic texts (1500 BC)

-The first kiss recorded on film was called, "The Kiss" in 1896

-About 90% of the world's cultures kiss and 2/3 of us tilt our heads to the right

- A kiss can be 10 times more effective than Morphine in reducing pain

- In the middle ages, illiterates could seal legal deals with an "X" and a kiss, which is how the kiss got its "X" signature.

-When we kiss: - blood vessels expand
                         - cheeks flush
                         - pupils dilate
                         - and the heart pumps more oxygen to the brain

-Kissing also releases serotonin, dopamine, and adrenaline which can feel like butterflies inside your stomach or  a roller coaster ride

- Passionate kissing burns 6.4 calories per minute
   1 Hershey's kiss=  26 calories
    that's a 4 minute kiss

- A kiss can be an elixir of life, it can also be a kiss of death

- The science of kissing is called Philematology

- When people kiss, they exchange between 10 million and 1 billion bacteria

- In France, French kissing is called "tongue kissing" or "soul kissing"
