A scientist set himself to the task of finding the world's funniest joke to see how people in different countries responded to that joke, and whether it can further the understanding of the brain. The jokes, submitted in English to the Laughter Lab Web site, helped find whether humour varied for people of different age, sex and nationality. A voting system whittled down the entries to one winner, which was then told to volunteers undergoing a brain scan to see how the brain reacts. The result should help studies into brain damage and thought processes since understanding a joke requires a number of complex cognitive processes. <42mn 30s>
