Imagine four chickens on the edge of a road. Say a direct copy of the chicken nearest the road is sent to the back of the line of chickens and takes the place of the first chicken. The formerly first chicken becomes the second, the second becomes the third, and the fourth walks across the road. Jokes work the same way.

the point of the joke is the punchline is anticlimactic and disappointing.

Hardcordion posted:So you know the joke "Why did the chicken cross the road?" That extremely well known joke that we've all been hearing since we could understand what a joke is? The punchline isn't just about the simple motivations driving a chicken to do what it does. The other side is the afterlife, because the chicken gets run over. This joke is because chickens really like hanging out in the road. I figured that out after I move to a farming village where most of my neighbors have chickens and most of the chickens are constantly in the loving road

The punchline isn't just about the simple motivations driving a chicken to do what it does. The other side is the afterlife, because the chicken gets run over. I find this p damned  and I don't care what the actual and unknowable historical origin is, this reading of it is canon for me now and I will be re-telling this joke so that when they say "um yeah to get to the other side, duh" it'll an opportunity to blow their minds too.

I don't really have anywhere else to put this, but I found a site of random Japanese folklore monsters, and I found that the idea of goatse predates the SA forums by several hundred years. https://hyakumonogatari.com/2012/08/19/shirime-eyeball-butt/

christmas boots posted:That doesn't sound right. There's a finite amount of chicken souls and they just get recycled into new chickens so there's no afterlife for them to go to. I consider this myth: BUSTED If there's a finite number of souls, wouldn't sacrificing chickens lower the number of possible chickens for all time? Do we need to ban voodoo?

Samovar posted:For ages I always confused the Swedish 'vill' as the equivalent to English 'will' - it actually means 'want'. But it wasn't until recently that I realised 'will' must have meant 'want' in ye olden days, as in 'Make this happen, it is my will'. Just want to tag up on this and say that this is why we still have things called Last Will and Testaments. As in, "The last thing that I will (want) is that my house goes to my wife, also this is the last time I'm gonna get a chance to say something so Peter, I never liked your wives."

As in, "The last thing that I will (want) is that my house goes to my wife, also this is the last time I'm gonna get a chance to say something so Peter, I never liked your wives." There also used to be an antonym 'nill' - to not want something - which is where the phrase 'willy-nilly' comes from (will ye or nill ye - something that happens whether you want it or not).

Recent musical revelations, courtesy of Pandora: That one really catchy '80s dance song I like that I've heard throughout the years and assumed was by INXS or someone is actually True Faith by New Order. In my defense, it really does sound more like INXS or someone than the band who made Blue Monday. Ian Curtis did not have a solo career as a folk musician in addition to being in Joy Division. I was combining him with a completely different musician who died in a completely different decade—Elliott Smith. Yes, I know they sound nothing alike, but I'd never knowingly heard an Elliott Smith song before tonight, and I was never into Joy Division enough to know Ian Curtis didn't have any solo albums.
