Answer:
A HUNT for the world's funniest joke was launched yesterday by a psychologist who has designed the biggest investigation ever into the mysterious science of humour. Our brains respond within half a second to exposure to something potentially funny, laughter reduces stress and boosts our immune systems, and research suggests that people with heart disease are 40pc less likely to laugh at funny situations. However, the science of side-splitting humour remains poorly understood. Science Year, a British Government initiative that aims to improve the profile of science among teenagers, starts tomorrow. To mark the event, the British Association, which is holding its annual festival in Glasgow, launched the first internet experiment in the psychology of humour. While Laugh Lab, devised by Dr Richard Wiseman of Hertfordshire University, aims to uncover the best-loved joke, it will also examine aspects such as the secret of timing in humour, the brain activity triggered by a chortle, and how humour differs between the sexes. Laugh Lab will be carried out in three parts and the winner will be chosen in September of next year. Dr Wiseman asked some of Britain's best-known scientists to submit jokes, the impact of which will be compared with computer-generated jokes during the series of experiments. "I thought that scientists would easily beat the computer. Having seen their jokes, I think it is going to be a close thing," he said. Here's one from Heather Couper, astronomer. A brain and a jump-lead go into a pub. Brain says to the barman: "two pints of beer, please, mate." The Barman replies: "Sorry mate. I can't serve you guys. You're out of your head, and the other one of you is bound to start something.
