Original Title: TIL about the experiment to find the world's funniest (most average) joke with the widest appeal. Richard Wiseman created LaughLab, an online experiment for people to submit and rate jokes. Gurpal Gosal of Manchester submitted the winning joke based on a 1951 radio skit written by Spike Milligan.
