I pretend to not understand and that I believe things exactly as said.
Those who know me laugh,others look confused.
Funny yeah?.

So was that sarcasm or not?

I've noted that my sarcasm detection is highly localized: it took me a while to detect sarcasm in the voice of people after I moved. Some places' accents just are impossible to scan for sarcasm for me, while others are obvious.

The sarcasm of science is more interesting.

I have a friend whose sarcasm detector rarely works. It's a bit frustrating for me because I'm a very sarcastic person. I just have to sigh a lot.

Maybe she would be a good candidate for studying the science of sarcasm.

maybe this evolved, through selection, when the muscly, powerful leader apes, used to communicate, through grunts and early language/sounds etc, that yes, they "really do like being bashed over the head with a banana".

Which is the ultimate problem with boards and other text communication. Tone and sarcasm is utterly lost.

The right parahippocampal gyrus gets a kick out of obliquely putting down the left parahippocampal gyrus by agreeing with it, and the poor thing doesn't have a clue.

Meanwhile, Apollo hoaxers are so right.

LOL! Funny you say that - she sometimes claims her mother did that. Explains her other idiosyncracies.

What everybody missed is that there's no such thing as a 'parahippocampal gyrus' in the first place. What's it next to, the millie ray gyrus?

I hit my head twice and I think I'm getting a little facetous now, but no sarcasm yet.

Keep hitting and try using a brick or a frying pan. Let us know if that works for you.
