Meme, meme, meme. Tout la même chose! I just discovered your website and have, thus far, been enamored. Until now, I had thought meme was a meme of the French même. Thanks for the Richard Dawkins reference.
Incidentally, you have several memes out there! Although I most definitely prefer your humor and insight to some of the stodgier (dare I say it) memes.
