Hey look! It's a Meta-Meme!

[pat]

from ladyjaida, by way of elorie:

The Meme Project

"Examples of memes are tunes, ideas, catch-phrases, clothes fashions, ways of making pots or of building arches. Just as genes propagate themselves in the gene pool by leaping from body to body via sperm or eggs, so memes propagate themselves in the meme pool by leaping from brain to brain via a process which, in the broad sense, can me called imitation. ... 'Memes should be regarded as living structures, not just metaphorically, but technically. When you plant a fertile meme in my mind you literally parasitize my brain, turning it into a vehicle for the meme's propagation...'"
-p. 192, Memes: the new replicators; The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins

As a project for my Evolution Class, I need all of YOUR help. Copy the meme below into your own journal, then post a comment linking to the post in which this meme can be found. Make sure the meme itself links back to ladyjaida's post, so that everyone who posts this meme can link to their meme-post.

MEME
Where did you first see this meme?
Are you male or female?
Post your memelink HERE ( href=http://www.livejournal.com/users/ladyjaida/272230.html?mode=reply )
/MEME

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE -- I need as many of you helping me as I can. Memeing ends February 20th.
Whoever has the most memelinks by that time will win a prize.
Let the Meme begin!

For the record, I first saw this in elorie's journal, and I'm Pat :D

Not to be rude but how is this different than a chain letter?
