@Very-Rusty saidThat's what makes it funny sir.
Obviously more English humor I just don't get
(Strawman humour).
@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidYou are confusing a chess engine with an engine which can start a vehicle, I don't get the humor in it at all. Or you are just being a smart ass.
That's what makes it funny sir.
@Very-Rusty said'A straw man argument is a logical fallacy that involves misrepresenting an opponent's argument to make it easier to attack.'

It also works for humour. For example?
"I like to eat toast," said Bob.
"What?" replied Tim, "You like to eat toads?" (Pretending to mishear).
"Oh my god," said Sharon, "can't believe Bob is a toad eater."

It isn't as funny when you have to explain the joke is it. 😉

@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidIt runs on a “cheese engine”. OK perhaps that might be misleading. It actually works by tantalizing mice with cheese that is hung in front of a treadmill that they, the mice, are running on thus generating the energy to work the complicated apparatus euphemistically referred to as “the engine”.🤔😲👍
Actually GBS does use an engine, but only to power his Chevrolet Matiz.
@Great-Big-Stees saidI must say you do have a very active mind. 🙂
