"Occupy ..." as a meme

[mikegarrison]

I work in a building called the "Bomarc Building." I was just walking past a whiteboard with a list of projects written on it, and one of them was called "Occupy Bomarc."

We also have just seen Mick Haley make a joke about an RPI revolt he called "Occupy NCAA."

I doubt it will have legs for more than a year or two (if that), but it sure seems like "Occupy ..." is becoming a meme.

When do you think meme-ing will lose its legs?

Never. It was always going on, we just didn't have a name for it until Dawkins accidentally invented one. The irony is that he thought he was coming up with a hypothetical idea, but other people realized he was actually describing a real phenomenon. "Meme" itself is a meme.

That darn Internet, spreads ideas faster than humans can process.
