It's easy to think that everyone knows everything that you know. But every year, more than 100,000,000 new people are born, and not a single one of them is born knowing that they are made out of atoms, or that black holes are awesome. Someone needs to be there to tell them, to show them.
How many jokes do you hear every day? Every week? How many jokes do you hear every year? Here's a fun thought: by considering average life expectancy and the typical number of jokes a person hears in a year, David Wong posited a thought, rough in its approximation, but sharp in its essence. If you are under the age of 38, odds are the funniest joke you will ever hear is a joke you haven't even heard yet, and if you are over the age of 38, odds are you already know a joke that, to more people than you could possibly meet, might be the funniest joke they will ever hear.
So wherever you are, we're glad you're there.
