Sarcasm Seen as Evolutionary Survival Skill
quote:According to Dr. Rankin, if you didn't get the sarcastic tone of the previous sentences you must have some damage to your parahippocampal gyrus which is located in the right brain. People with dementia, or head injuries in that area, often loose the ability to pick up on sarcasm, and so they don't respond in a socially appropriate ways.


Hmmm.
The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly, is to fill the world with fools.

    Sarcasm won't lead to a longer life if some big guy at work with a bad attitude decides he is tired of your wisecracks. [:0]
