At the risk of being thought of as a nitpicker regarding jokes and laughter in this thread, it's JMHO that not only was Nietzsche a madman, his sayings/writings were definitely un-funny. I admit that nihilism has a certain attraction for me but I find absolutely no humor in it and Nietzsche was certainly no joke. Please don't blast me for my dissent or for not including a joke or pun, etc., in a laughter thread. Each to his own?
