Disclaimer: Used in a joke

The converse of this: any language spoken in a region inhabited by marsupials is a Marsupic language.

I'm impressed whenever another Uranus joke can be squeezed out.

It's also interesting that Uranus is a gas giant.

I'm sorry, I don't get the joke.

It's a marginal pun to begin with (Messapic is an extinct language, and the made-up "Marsupic" isn't even that close), made almost incomprehensible by poor formatting and extraneous grammar distractions (the converse?! Dislcaimer?!), along with a redundant, sideways photo of the whole thing written by hand. It must be one of those scratch your head, paleo-Balkanic language jokes rather than the laughy kind.

What do you call a snake that is 3.14 meters long? 

A decipede.  (it's a ten-footer)

With gratitude and apologies to my dear departed father (EE in the Cold War):

 

If you ask a mathematician, "What is two times two?",
the mathematician will tell you, "Two times two is exactly four."

 

If you ask a physicist, "What is two times two?",
the physicist will tell you, "Two times two is precisely four point zero."

 

If you ask an engineer, "What is two times two?", the engineer will look at you for a moment and then say, "Aah, I dunno, lemme google it. Where's my phone? Somebody find my phone!"

 

If you asked the engineer's grandfather seventy years ago, "What is two times two?", the engineer's grandfather would pull his slide rule out of his pocket, fiddle with it for a moment, and then say, "Aah, about three point nine six."

That video shows at least 4 apes with guns.
Just to clarify things.
Guns were invented by apes and are almost exclusively used by apes.

I'm more worried about people who refuse to believe that people are apes than I am about a chimp with an AK.

And here we were just discussing, over in political humor, what lines can be crossed in joking.  I'm pretty sure you didn't intend the mindbendingly racist aspect of referring to black people as apes.  In the United States, this particular slur has a long and terrible history, and a person of color visiting this thread (or anyone, really) might well decide this forum is not worth their time.  I won't DV you, but respectfully request you be aware of why this post is offensive.

Would whoever marked that down like to explain why?
In particular, do they realise that people are apes?
