As this article reads, a scientist rode around on his unicycle and noted that women made encouraging comments while men jeered.

 Often the men’s comments were mocking and intended as a put-down. Young men in cars were particularly aggressive - they lowered their windows and shouted abusively.

This type of behaviour decreased among older men however, who tended to offer more admiring comments, much like the women.

“The idea that unicycling is intrinsically funny does not explain the findings,” said Professor Shuster.

Huh? Unicycling is intrinsically funny? Men who mock and put down are funny? So humor must be testosterone-based?  I’m sure information is missing here as I’m not reading his actual research paper, but this is stupid on all sorts of levels beginning with using a response to a guy on a unicycle as a gauge of humor. I look forward to hearing more.
