   Yes, no, maybe?   
      
   For us to truly know what is silly   
   we have to be able to know what is   
   not silly?  Are there degrees of   
   silliness.  If an omniscient being   
   claims that it is omniscient how   
   can we know if it is lying if we   
   are not omniscient ourselves?  We   
   can only guess?  Is that artificial   
   intelligence or natural intelligence?   
   Does natural intelligence exist or   
   is all intelligence artificial?   
   What is 'natural'?  If we know   
   nothing, how can we know if anything   
   is funny?
