Apparently they've found the area of the brain that detects sarcasm (not to be confused with the area that generates sarcasm).
Isn't it ironic that someone who is extremely sarcastic might not be able to detect it in others? To expand on the hurricane example from the article:
Man 1, in hurricane: "beautiful day today, mate!!" (hey, maybe they're Australian in my example)
Man 2: "for sure, wish I'd remembered my sunscreen!"
Man 1 thinks to himself - what the fuck is UP with that guy!?
I'm pretty sure that the ability to detect sarcasm decreases with each pregnancy. Or is reverse- corrolated to sleep deprivation. Because when my husband and I are talking, I am often left thinking, "what the fuck is UP with that guy!"

So, I have fully developed my part of the brain that makes me want to say, "bon appetit, dumb ass", but don't have the cojones to go through with that. What the fuck is UP with that?
