Sorry to bump old posts, but I can't pass this one up.

Sarcasm seems to exercise the brain more than sincere statements do. Scientists who have monitored the electrical activity of the brains of test subjects exposed to sarcastic statements have found that brains have to work harder to understand sarcasm.

This is why people with frontal lobe brain damage have trouble understanding comedy. They don't understand when a statement is ironic or sincere. People with brain damage incorrectly believe that Colbert is conservative. study about Colbert.
This type of brain damage can be traced to the right frontal lobe; science

It just sort of creeps me out, I'd never look at a 14-18 year old boy and think wow sexy.

To be fair my great grandmother married at 13 and had a kid that year. Age of consent is a cultural construct. In fact the age of consent in good old Catholic Spain is 13 still. 14 in much of Europe.
