Love it.

I start noticing a pattern in my life. When I tell several jokes at once, people are most amused with the one I think is the least funny.

This one seems to be true. True of Eliezer Yudkowsky and true of every other human living or dead (again simultaneously). "Uncountably infinite counterfactual universes" make most mathematically coherent tasks kind of trivial. This is actually a less impressive feat than, say, "Chuck Norris contains at least one water molecule".

That was not what I was thinking about. I should have been. Kinda obvious in hindsight.
