46. Proliferate

From the New York Times, 10/24/11, "Particles Faster Than The Speed of Light? Not so Fast, Some Say" by Dennis Overbye:

"Neutrino time-travel jokes have proliferated on the Internet. Example: “We don’t serve faster-than-light neutrinos here,” said the bartender. A neutrino walks into a bar."

Did you get the joke? Ha, ha!
Why would such jokes 'increase rapidly' on the internet?
 
Proliferate: to increase in number or spread rapidly
