World's oldest joke book

A Cambridge academic has uncovered what is believed to be the world's oldest joke book.

The third century book of gags from the Roman Empire is written in Greek and entitled Philogelos, which translates as Laughter Lover.

Professor Mary Beard says it debunks the popular myth that the Romans were 'pompous, toga-wearing bridge builders'.

"A lot of the books written during the Roman Empire were written in Greek and although they might not be side-splittingly funny, they do give us a fascinating insight," she told the Daily Telegraph.

Prof Beard, who came across it while researching ancient humour for a book, said the jokes were categorised into themes including 'the absentminded professor' and 'the charlatan prophet'.

"One of my favourite jokes from the book, and probably one of the longest, is about a barber, a professor and a bald man," she added.

Another dating back to 248AD when Rome held what was billed as the 'Millennium Games' - tells the story of a distraught athlete: "Never mind," says a spectator. "You can always try again at the next Millennium Games."

There is also an ancient version of the Monty Python dead parrot sketch.

It reads: "A man buys a slave, who dies soon after. When he complains, the slave seller replies, "Well, he didn't die when I owned him".":eek::D

H'excellent news as always sah :D

For the record, I'm a single PC user running the GPU app only (optimised app, if you're collecting that data as well) :)
 
Thanks for the news TBag, once again top notch. ;)

I've just stomped Marine Iguana. Didn't post a parp as I'm sure that once he sorts his hardware out and is back in full production he'll be flying past me again. In the meantime I'll enjoy cell 26 for my brief stay...... :)

Theres probably some stuck in your transfer queue if the retry period is over 5 mins highlight and retry those in your transfer list and quick as a flash go back n press your update button .... if you get some new wu's then click the "check network connectivity button" and you should get some more ... seems to have been the order of the day for me today :rolleyes:
 
Well I have got a few gaming hours to do tonight but rig will be left on now when I am not using it I turned it off this morning first time in a good few months. :D

Bout time as well, you needed to discover that gpu's can be used for something other than crunching :D
Cant wait for Bioshock, I loved the first and have just started to play through it again as I picked up the 2nd in the steam sale, so hopefully that will keep me going until Infinite comes out..
Mind you, for all my gaming prowess, i cant match you on the bejewelled front - thats hardcore!!!

Cheers for the news toxic - muchly appreciated
 
Thought I might as well use my PC for something else than gaming, so I signed up to the team.

Add me to the single PC league, I signed up with the name "Will - will1b". I think it's running GPU assisted, but I don't know.

Currently downloading some stuff to do.

EDIT: For some reason it's only downloading at about 3KBps. This will take a while...

Welcome to the team will1b.

To see if you are running GPU assisted look on your tasks tab in the application column. If you see any "cuda" units then it is using your GPU. Do you have an Nvidia card?

SETI has been having problems for the last week or so. The downloads are extremely slow if working at all and there's not much work coming through at the moment. Hopefully it will all be sorted out soon.

Any problems or questions post them up in here and someone will help you out.
 
Hell, it hasn't even downloaded the AstroPulse and other stuff yet.

So I can't check, but I have "Always use GPU" on so I should be working GPU assisted.

EDIT: I'll download some Milkyway@home. Least then I have some work to do.

Joined OCUK there too. OCUK is probably the best forum community I've been in :D

EDIT 2: My drivers are outdated for GPU projects. Update time.

EDIT 3: Drivers updated, and 1 project completed.

Seems like it. I'm getting an amazing 1KBps for the downloading of astropulse and stuff while I compute some Milkyway@home

I do some astronomy myself so I might even be using some of the 3D models.

EDIT: 7KBps. Seems like a new record for my download speed!
