"FUNNY???? You think it is FUNNY?? I’d suggest you set up a “FUND ME” thing so you can buy a new dictionary!! Your post is great, but better would have been the lead-off word as something line “Interesting” or “Curious”."

"Interesting" or "curious" is exactly what "funny" means in the context in which he used it. It doesn't mean something that makes you laugh, except maybe with derision.
