Most likely they had humour also in 1562.

  Unrelated, but a friend of mine lives in a house from 1600 or so. The ceiling is painted with hundreds of funny animals, from normal cats, dogs, pigs, bears, through exotic lions, tigers, elephants, crocodiles, apes, and topped with some fantasy dragons and serpents. Many of them doing funny faces and gestures. The first time I saw it, I had to walk around and just look for 30 minutes. I would guess that the paintings may be later than the house, perhaps from the early 1700:s but it's hard to tell.
