009 You Found My Weakness... It's Small Knives!

[speterman]

I obsess about things – guilty as charged. If you've ever seen my room, I’m always juggling a few projects... and some of them have been going for quite some time. As you also probably know, I ask a lot of questions; well, there's been one question sort of bugging me.

What were the first people thinking when they clap? Now I know what you're thinking: "Peter, shut up and go to bed." But really!

Who thought to stand there and smack their hands together to create noise to cheer for someone or something?

Anyone know if it even started out as cheering?

Clapping their hands would make it louder and encourages people to do better. It lets them know that they're cheering for them?

Ahaha, I get that. But, what caused someone to just start doing it?

Perhaps one person decided to do it and the rest followed?

Although, we're never too sure what might cause a person to just do it!

I wonder what it could have been, y'know?

Perhaps they would have went with stomping with their feet instead!

Or something else that would cheer other people on! I know other people have made signs and painted themselves to cheer a team on!
