Scientists find the worlds funniest jokes
Germany's funniest joke
To tell the weather: Go to the back door and look for the dog. If the dog is wet, it's probably raining. But if the dog is standing there soaking wet, it is probably raining really hard. If the dog's fur looks like it has been rubbed the wrong way, it's probably windy. If the dog has snow on its back, it's probably snowing.
Of course, you have to leave the dog outside all the time, especially if you expect bad weather.
Sincerely, the CAT.
NEW ZEALAND'S Funniest Joke
A priest conducts a service in church. "The person who puts the most in the church collection box can choose three hymns," he says. The collection box comes back to him after being filled up, and he finds that someone has donated $1,000. Who has donated a thousand?" he asks. A woman raises her hand. The priest invites her to the front and tells her to choose three hymns. Pointing at the three most handsome men in the church, she says: "I'll have him, him and him."
Belgium's
There are basically three kinds of people: Those who can count and those who can't.
The World's funniest joke
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are going camping. They pitch their tent under the stars and go to sleep. Sometime in the night Holmes wakes Watson up. "Watson, look up at the stars, and tell me what you deduce."
Watson says enthusiastically: "I see millions of stars. And even if a few of those have planets, it's quite likely there are some planets like Earth, and if there are a few planets like Earth out there, there might also be life." Holmes replies: "Watson, you idiot, somebody stole our tent."

Visual Anthropology
The Society encourages the use of media, including still photography, film, video and non-camera generated images, in the recording of ethnographic, archaeological and other anthropological genres. Members examine how aspects of culture can be pictorially/visually interpreted and expressed, and how images can be understood as artifacts of culture. Historical photographs, in particular, are seen as a source of ethnographic data, expanding our horizons beyond the reach of memory culture. The society also supports the study of indigenous media and their grounding in personal, social, cultural and ideological contexts, and how anthropological productions can be exhibited and used more effectively in classrooms, museums and television.
