I do not feel comfortable just throwing in things that i can not see the purpose with. So please for god sake can someone explain what the syntax is about, or should i just except it is totally fucking nonesensible?

You can do a couple of things with functions in this language:
- you can call them
- you could give it to someone else, so they call it (remember
   the FileReader?)

Do you understand that?

// calling
monkeybusiness();

vs.

/*
giving setTimeout a handle on the function, setTimeout will arrange the 
calling ... after the timeout
*/
window.setTimeout(monkeybusiness, 1000);


But also please understand how functions can be defined in this language.

/*
giving setTimeout a handle on an anonymous function that calls 
monkeybusiness, setTimeout will arrange the calling
*/
window.setTimeout(function(){monkeybusiness();}, 1000);
