A coworker of mine found this on the 'net last week whilst searching for ways to lower blood pressure. I laughed my patookis off (thankfully, patooki are relatively easy to reattach) and figured I'd share.

Commune with man—or mouse. Studies show that social support is key in reducing stress. When it comes to work pressure, simply sharing thoughts with a coworker will do the trick. In fact, researchers suggest the mere presence of a friendly face eases stress. In a study at the University of Tokyo, researchers found that rats given an electric shock had lower body temperatures and stress-hormone levels when they were accompanied by another rat that didn't get zapped. The rats that were shocked in solitary went ape-shit.
