The researches want to know what people from different nations and cultures find funny. And they want to find out the difference

19、s between the male and female sense of humour.

Is this joke funny? I dont know, but lets say yes, just to be safe.Dr Wiseman and his workmates also submitted jo

24、kes created by computer. But none of those who took part in the survey found any of them amusing. Perhaps this is relief. Computers already seem like they can do everything.
