I also don’t get it. Not everything that smells causes you to sneeze. None of the methods actually make sense. A feather tickles you, not makes you sneeze. And the pepper? The experiment is invalid. Did not disprove the hypothesis, needs more testing.
I read it as a joke of increasing absurdity. Sniffing pepper makes people sneeze so that one works (besides the trying to make a plant sneeze part). He got a bit distracted by experiment 2 and mixed up the involuntary reactions sneezing and tickling and tries to tickle it with a feather. He then gets further distracted between experiment 2 and 3, and tests feet which are commonly ticklish.
When I break it down like this you can see that it is a very funny joke, as one can always tell from a detailed explanation of the joke.
Was having blood drawn and the phlebotomist, who was obviously Christian, was so happy to have found out that men actually had one less rib than women because, you know, Adam’s rib became Eve. I was not about to correct her as she had a needle in my arm at that moment.
The Bowie album title and the album’s group of characters by the same name are often believed to have been inspired by Newton’s dog, so MGS V is at least indirectly influenced by it.
