Back in the day, this blog was about explaining things to people. I was going to include links to old posts, but reading through them was taking too long - why did Blogger wait so long to add labels?!?
Anyways, today's lesson is meme
Pronounced 'meem', a meme is a "unit of cultural information...that gets transmitted...from one mind to another." Not surprisingly, the Internet has dramatically increased the number and rapid spread of memes. Wikipedia has an exhaustive list of examples, including LOLcats and Diet Coke/Mentos.
After receiving a couple e-mail fowards with song lyrcs distilled into some type of chart, I decided that this has to be a meme. As proof, this Flickr group has 886 images.
