Blah blah blah about half way down the first page of the article they start defining 'meme' and where the term originated. Imagine my surprise and delight when I read that 'meme' was actually coined by none other than my favorite atheist, Richard Dawkins, author of The God Delusion (read this book. It'll change your life.). I recall reading about meme's in his book, but I don't believe that he gave himself credit for developing the term (a fusion of 'mime' and 'gene,' pronounced like 'dream'). This revelation automatically took any importance (bahaha) away from the LOLCat article and got me excited about anti-religion.
Speaking of which... Karma has caught up with me and my passionate hate for all things religious. I was putting together a few different options for my schedule next semester... and for each and every one of them, the only honors course that will fit just happens to be The 3 Religions (Christianity, Judaism, and Muslim I presume). Not only is the class totally Blech... but it's being taught by my Physics professor: a big, fat, sweating, spitting T-Rex. Double Ugh.
Because I was super behind on (all of my) homework, last night was buckle-down-and-do-something-productive night. And, because I don't like to suffer alone, I suggested to Wes that he find something quiet and less-fun than homework to do while I was calculating and figuring and cursing all mathematicians. From a few posts down, it should be pretty obvious that although he found something quiet to do, it was definitely not less-fun than homework. I am speaking, of course, of the LEGOS kingdom.
Next week: physics test, informative speech, philosophy mid-term, microbiology test. Is it December yet?
