How meme!

Read Ra's blog and got tagged. Darn it. So here I am transmitting a unit of cultural information against my better judgment. With only a basic knowledge of memetics I can only claim that the meme, like genes, are sometimes recessive. ie: only the strong and practically necessary ones make the grade. Exhibit A: weird 60's hairdos.
Evolution kicks out the cultural mutations that are unlikely to affect actual survival. So with variation and selection defining the transmission, the rate of mutation is very high. Exhibit B: Chinese Whispers.
So Ra, all I'm saying is:

Mid 2004 - (current)
eMac, eMac, nyah nyah!

Bring on the lawyers kiddo...
