　　Dr.Wiseman started “the laugh lab” project in September 2001.It is the largest study of humour.Participants(参加者)are invited to log on to the laugh lab website, oke.But there is also a serious purpose.The researches want to know what people from different nations and cultures find funny.And they want to find out the differences between the male and female sense of humour.The idea is that if we want to understand each other, we have to find out what makes us laugh.

　　This is a subject that has long attracted psychologists and philosophers.Most of the time, people are not completely honest.We do things that society expects us to and say things that help us get what we want.But laughing cannot be controlled.When we laugh, we tell the truth about ourselves.By December 2001 over 10，000 jokes had been submitted.This gave the scientists enough evidence to make early conclusions.It seems that men and women do have different senses of humour, for instance.

　　揙ur findings show the major differences in the ways in which males and females use humour, ?said Dr.Wiseman.揗ales use humour to appear superior to others, while women are more skilled in languages and prefer word play.?we wResearchers also found that there really is such a thing as a national sense of humour.The British enjoy what is usually called “toilet humour”．But the French like their jokes short and sharp: “You're a high priced lawyer.Will you answer two questions for $500？” “Yes.What's the second question？”
