Teacher Feigns Death in Oregon Shooting; Orangutans Link Laughter to Food

A harrowing account from the recent Oregon school shooting reveals a teacher who "pretended to be dead" to survive the attack, stating she was too injured to assist students. Meanwhile, in a separate development, a study suggests orangutans exhibit a nuanced emotional response to food, preferring treats associated with the sounds of their peers laughing. This indicates that even in non-human primates, positive emotional cues can influence perceived value and decision-making.
