Why does custom function says invalid argument in IE8

Question

I have this custom js function

$.fn.sense=function func() {

and I am calling it later as

setTimeout($.fn.sense(),1);

Now the above line is giving a weird error on IE8 .. It says invalid argument? :(

How so? It works in all sane browsers

take the `()` off `sense`, you are calling the function instead of passing the function — Patrick Evans, Aug 01 '14 at 14:06
Does your function return a function? If not, stop calling it, and pass only the reference. See e.g., http://stackoverflow.com/a/7969111/438992. — Dave Newton, Aug 01 '14 at 14:08
Why would you put a function that can be `setTimeout`'d on `$.fn`? — Bergi, Aug 01 '14 at 14:13
