Short of coming right out and saying, "This is a sarcastic question....", then A LOT of clues. Especially around here...And science has discovered that Rosie O'Donnell ate the gene...

Let's answer the last one first.
since science cannot compute sarcasm, it just extrapalates right over their highly intelligent little heads.
But they can clone, man can they clone.
Now to the first???
Now if they don't get the picture the first time, the second time around will follow the first ,
right over their intelligent little heads
read children, read so that this sarcasm is not lost on you

I am sorry, I never pick up on sarcasm. I take words very literally so forgive me. I do not have the sarcasm awareness gene you speak of.

My friend, science has discovered that gene but the knowledge has been kept from us. What would Pat Robertson do if everyone was switched on?

Christianity and Islam both teach the concept that 'fun' and it's derivative, 'funny' are evil and of satan. Sarcasm, irony and satire all require advanced thinking, and even more appreciation of what is "funny" or absurd.
Plus they don't like no big words, either.

I know what you mean.
and yes, they have discovered a gene that is responsible for the formation of the ulne nerve, which is located near the elbow.

Sarcasm can be hard to interpret over the internet. Smily faces help. But yes, conditions like autism can make it hard for people to recognize it - but you don't need that to be confused online.

is this question anything like "how many does it take to change a lightbulb"?
...
not seeing the sarcasm is not a lack of intelligence but an abundance of forbearance.

You cheeky whipper-snapper. Are you telling us that the world really is older than 23 years, and that humour on this board is dead ? Maths and English are the Devils works though, aren`t they ?
