Take My Hard Drive, Please


You've heard of CGI. Now we have CGH--Computer-Generated Humor. In their quest for the world's funniest joke, the New Scientist reports that jokes created by computers can be quite funny (and not just the unintentional ones from Microsoft, either).

Somehow, this reminds me of the old Monty Python routine (from the movie "And Now For Something Completely Different") about the world's deadliest joke; everyone who heard it died laughing. Maybe once they find the funniest one (the current leader is not exactly a knee slapper to me), they can translate it into Arabic for use in the war.
