          Goals
              To build an Internet repository of humor, broadly interpreted. Items which are considered funny by various groups would be tracked via social networking integration. The resulting big data would be available for analytics, which, in particular, could include research that will help better understand, and perhaps even quantify humor. Possible crowd sourcing of jokes or computer generated humor.
