I'm sharing a link to the results of a scientific study conducted by LaughLab to find the world's funniest joke, based on a global survey of over a million people and thousands of submissions.
I explore the nature of humor by revisiting Isaac Asimov’s short story "Jokester." I reflect on why humans find dark subjects like adultery and murder funny, drawing on the search for the world's funniest joke.
I shared a link to a classic joke about Jeff Bezos and Amazon's early growth. Hosted on NetFunny, the piece offers a lighthearted perspective on the company's rapid expansion and business model during the 2000s.
I share links to the Giant Jump, a massive simultaneous jumping event involving millions of UK students to test seismic activity, and what I consider the funniest experimental project currently on the web.
I rank The Nervous Dog as one of the funniest satire sites on the web, directly competing with the humor of The Onion. It's a prime example of early digital comedy and sharp-witted online parodies.
I found a Berkeley study showing the world produces 250MB of information per person annually. We're each generating the equivalent of 50 times the complete works of Shakespeare every year through our digital and physical activity.
