Abstract
The occurrence and function of humor in biochemistry, and in science in general, is a topic that has been left in the hands of the social scientists for too long. Although some [1] provide interesting perspectives, too often their epistemology of humor within the scientific milieu is, inevitably, of limited scope. Too often, in the course of deconstructing the semiotic architecture of scientific humor, the signifier has been confused with the signified, thus providing no grounds for expecting that we can subjugate our humanity and write about the way the universe is in any relative, laughter-dependent manner.
