Seriously. I breathed a deep sigh of relief when I realized what that was about. If Brilliant hadn't intuited why that guy was laughing, everyone would have thought was the biggest asshole on Earth, forever.

realizing something like that doesn't happen, before you laugh.as Larry Brilliant guessed, that there was someone who read really fast in the crowd, namely the person who laughed.that person may have misread, may have had a personal experience that made him find something funny on the slide shown.and when that happens, you dont stop, have a conversation with yourself and then decide it's ok to find it funny and laugh out loud.laughter just bursts out, and that's a good thing :)

Why does every interesting thing have to be hijacked by conspiracy theorist nutjobs?

Yeh don't think the guy laughing didn't realise it wasn't a joke!

Larry is Brilliant!!! If you have money to donate projects like these might be more worthwhile than art galleries or ballet performance. (Considering the proportions of where donations go. A ballet performance might still be better than another yacht...)
