After I misinterpreted someone on this forum earlier i went online to find out what are the most common reasons why people find things funny. Because i think i'm not very good at understading if people are joking or not. And I have to fix this. There's a lot things that i didn't know. And i'm continuing my reasearch tomorrow. Anyway i thought i'd share some articles that i think are informative.

You mean in your other thread yesterday? You weren't wrong, he is funny. Even if he is also serious. I think his self-reference in the third person afterwards suggests that he knows it. :) Not to mention his avatar image.

Not that I want to discourage you from learning about the nature of humor though. It really is fascinating.

I also laugh at a lot of things and I've laughed at many posts. I just don't let people know that I think their posts are funny.
