The intertubes have provided the opportunity for a biological term to find a new life. "Meme" is defined as "an element of a culture or system of behavior that may be considered to be passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means, especially imitation." If the internet has fried your brain, an internet meme is a phenomenon replicated throughout the internet via imitation. If you still don't get it, think to that lame 25 Random Things fad that took over Facebook for a few weeks. That's a meme, my friends, and, on the internet, memes make the world go round.

"Numa Numa," "Chocolate Rain," the Bill O'Reilly freak out: these are all internet memes. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, you friend are not attuned to the weird, the wonderful, the waste-of-times that make up the internet.

But, fear not, you too can be as "cool" as your neighborhood Internet Whore. Okay, not as cool as me, but the dorks in IT won't make that much fun of you anymore. Check out Greg Rutter's Definitive List of the 99 Things You Should Have Already Experienced on the Internet Unless You're a Loser or Old Something (http://www.youshouldhaveseenthis.com/). Enjoy the next three hours of mind-numbing internet education.
