In future laughter experiments, the researchers plan to scan participants' brains to better understand the neural systems responsible for tickling our funny bones.
Most people think that it's called the funny bone because it feels funny when you hit it, but it's actually a really bad dad joke from the 19th century.
The funny bone sensation is when you actually hit the ulnar nerve, which is pretty superficial right here as it comes around the medial epicondyle of your upper arm bone.
