Science And POTATO CHIPS

Technology In the summer of 1853, Native American George Crum was employed as a
chef at an elegant resort in Saratoga Springs, New York. One dinner guest
found Crum's French fries too thick for his liking and rejected the order. Crum
decided to rile the guest by producing fries too thin and crisp to skewer with a
fork. The plan backfired. The guest was ecstatic over the browned, paper-thin
potatoes, and other diners began requesting Crum's

LAUGH.....GAGS!!!! People logging onto the LaughLab website were invited to rate jokes
using a "Giggleometer" which had a five-point scale ranging from
"not very funny" to "very funny".
One intriguing result was that Germans - not renowned for their
sense of humour - found just about everything funny. They did not
express a strong preference for any type of joke.
People from the Republic of Ireland, the UK, Australia and New
Zealand most enjoyed jokes involving word plays.
One example was as follows. Patient: "Doctor, I've got a strawberry

stuck up my bum." Doctor: "I've got some cream for that!”
Americans and Canadians, on the other hand, preferred jokes where

there was a strong sense of superiority - either because a character
looks stupid or is made to look stupid by someone else.
This was an example of American humour.
