The same 'point' every > single lame comedian on TV has been making for 3 years at least. "SUVs are > sooo big LOL I am so fucking funny" Exactly. The thing I find funny are the replies to it. In the three places it was posted I have had more direct replies to it than /any/ other ascii art I have ever made. Three of them where just like his reply: 'I don't get it'. The rest/majority of the comments have all been positive and thought it was funny. You are absolutely correct that the joke offers nothing new. It is the same old tired joke that has been said over and over again. All I did was link it to a news story and include some graphics to show the perceived difference in size. Which makes me wonder: Is this one funny because it is based on a joke everyone already knows? Is this the first joke I have made that /most/ people can understand. > An excellent point. Religion in general has worn out its welcome, it's about > time we came up with something more relevant to today's society than > imaginary creatures to make the people behave. I am sure we could get a few intelligent people together and design a good replacement. Hmm... what could one call it... something that isn't religion yet isn't... science... hmm...
