Internet memes

In case you missed any of the stuff that the Internet is throwing up, this timeline of Internet memes will show you what you missed. Sorta. I was happy to see such early work as "Ate my Balls", which I hadn't thought about in 10 years.

I knew GO TO statements were considered harmful, but I didn't realize for how long this had been true.

Interesting... some of these things are supposedly a lot older than I'd realized. But on the other hand, I know they have at least one date way off--"Ghost Car" is marked at August of 2006, but I am absolutely certain I saw that while I was working at Acclaim, which means it was no later than September of 2004.

Nope, didn't understand any of the previous three posts.
I guess that's why I love this mostly harmless little backwater.

It requires pretty deep involvement with Internet culture. Not understanding the In-jokes is neither a good thing nor a bad thing, I think.

I think it is.

Genius.

My favourite line:

"The results are the same for everything from TV news bloopers to professional ad campaigns, with only a handful of exceptions," Levinson added. "For example, it takes, on average, less than 90 seconds to go from feeling delight to active enmity for anything that involves talking infants."

Can't wait for the raptor rapture. Will there be a rap about it? Or a rape?

Griff I laughed so hard at Raptor Jebus that I coughed all over the keyboard and screen.
If it turns out my sputum is infectious (not a bad guess after 4 weeks AND antibiotics) then you will be responsible for the death of my parents.

I don't mind going - I went with a laugh.
It's my brother and sister you have to look out for.
