Have jokes killed more people than rats in history? Given the above question, please answer with reasoning first!
Greek philosopher Chrysippus was said to have died from laughter after seeing a donkey eating figs. There are only a handful of deaths attributed to jokes throughout history including King Martin of Aragon. There are an average of 30 deaths by rat attacks every century. The plague which is sometimes associated with diseased rats killed millions of people.
Therefore, the answer is no.
