I have ALWAYS wondered that to. Like why do we laugh when someone falls over, LOL,  I actually laughed a little when I wrote that.

I think it's because we THINK/interpret someone's fall/joke differently. That is, for example

Someone fell down= Person A laughs at the facial expression of the person
                         =Person B doesn't notice the facial expression, and laughs at the apples falling from the persons hans
                          Person C= laughs at how the person who fell has their body tangled with their legs
                          Person D= laughs because everybody else laughed

It's funny u posted this thread considering your name ROFLMAO

I laugh at gory horror movies more than comedies.

I also lol at dead baby jokes which my friends either appreciate or are horrified by. Black comedies are awesome, but not great to watch with friends since they don't normally get it and it's awkward to laugh when everyone else is like :| .

Obviously you havent seen a zebra, have u ever been to the zoo?
Zebras man one time I tried to look at a zebra but I cudnt see that high, so I went on top of the eureka tower but still cudnt see how tall those zebras are, I think theyre height specifications are 10 lengths tall and 3 lengths wide. I find the animals amusing, how weer they created, why did god make animals so tall when they can easily graze the moon.

Wait, come to think of it, I dont know if people found it funny but during the end of the world cup match, zidane acted really large? I mean at the start he was quite massive but by then end he was such a large guy that I tried to change the resolution of my screen, it was funny how he acts so large just for a soccer.

  Depends a lot on your mindset; Jewish humour, for example, is different to Aussie humour. And one's sensibilities; some people more prudish and hence less likely to laugh at dirty/profane jokes, some are more inclined to laugh at others' misfortunes, as Novax was saying.

The funniest things you could find are probably youtube videos, theyre just hilarious. I laugh more at them than any show on tv.
Wait, some of them are from tv. Well anyway, youtube has most of the funny stuff you could ever find.

Zebras are perchance my favourite animal, I like their slender heads, theyre not shaped like basketballs (common to most humans). Really racey looking head, like a horse except horse dont have the racing stripes that zebras do. I wish the Melbourne cup featured zebras instead of horses, does anyone else feel that would be awesome?

Umm a zebra is usually the size of a horse check here (http://www.shoarns.com/Hartmanns%20Zebra%20web%20ma_Aug_20052099-08-03_14-02-03.jpg), are you sure you are not confusing yourself with this animal (http://www.mccullagh.org/image/10d-17/giraffe-1.html), this tall creature is defined as giraffa camelopardalis or in laymen's terms giraffe.

So in everyone's favour maybe you haven't seen a giraffe, tell us when you see pink elephants flying. Lol.

Lol, noob. Come bak and talk after youve seen one in real life and didnt need a ladder to even see the zebras head. Giraffes dont even hold a candle to Zebras height.

Same goes for people who laugh at funerals from ex posters but you dont single them out. Hes just telling the truth its not his fault that he laughs at them, its probably something more on the subconscious level not that he purposefully laughs at what happens.

As a muso that trumpet thing pisses me off. I don't really find it funny though. And even if I did I don't think that's an insult to the ANZACs themselves. My respect for them isn't determined by how well a piece of related music is composed.

Have you played trumpet before?

You don't need to play the instrument to know that a particular melody is unimaginative -_-
Yes I know it wasn't meant as a performance piece. I was merely stating that not liking the trumpet/bugle/whatever call itself does not necessarily mean disrespect to the veterans.

I don't know anything about brass music as you can obviously tell, so ignore my comments, okay?

 Agree, like a public figure not wearing a poppy is widely considered a sin, even though that attitude engenders a complete indifference to the poppy's significance; people wear it unthinkingly, because they "have to".
