LONDON REUTERS (www.reuters.com/news_article.jhtml?type=entertainmentnews&StoryID=1530196) - After a year of painstaking scientific research, the world's funniest joke was revealed on Thursday.
More than 40,000 jokes from 70 countries and two million critiques later, this is it:
"Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other man pulls out his phone and calls emergency services.
He gasps to the operator: "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator in a calm, soothing voice replies: "Take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead."
There is a silence, then a shot is heard.
Back on the phone, the hunter says, "Ok, now what?"

The survey revealed other fun facts:
-- Of the countries rating the highest number of jokes, Germans, perhaps surprisingly, laughed the most. Canadians laughed least.
-- If you want to tell a funny animal joke, make it a duck.
-- The most frequently submitted joke, at 300 times, was: "What's brown and sticky? A stick."
Researchers said no one ever found it funny.
I don't know whether to laugh at the people who sent in the most frequently submitted joke, or to pity them.
It's sort of sad that the largest number of people thought this was the funniest joke they'd heard.

And then there's the Canadian humor...

You don't need jokes to get a laugh... Real stories are always best :D
The Nacy missile cruiser USS Yorktown suffered a crippling system feilure when its Windows NT operating system tried to divide by zero. "Even a $3 calculator gives you a 'zero' and doesn't stop executing the next set of instructions", said an engineer with the Atlantic Fleet Technical Support Center. The ship ultimately had to be towed into the Naval base at Norfolk, VA.

When the CIA starts bugging random peoples houses the goverment sucks.
:firewall: You have been ping flooded 153 times
:firewall: You have been port scaned 42 times.
:Me: MOTHER *********!! :mad:
IMO Clinton knew how things were supposto run in the goverment, if you listen to any on Bush's quotes they look really really bad lemme show you some examples...
"I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future." - Bush
"The future will be better tomorrow." -Bush
"We're going to have the best educated American people in the world." - Bush
"We are ready for any unforeseen event that may or may not occur." - Bush
"Quite frankly, teachers are the only profession that teach our children." - Bush
"It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it." - Bush
I mean Really, look at this...
:confused: :eek: :rolleyes:
Such a idiot :D

MrMacman,
What's really bad is the Forest Gump quotes were a lot more literate than these.
At least he's giving hope to the average, and some of the below average Americans.

Only problem comparing Bush to Gump is Gump was a character in a movie who was a little on the slow side, but Bush is the 'leader of the free world'
Which makes me wonder why the person with more votes doesn't get into office, that will be a later rant. ;)
