that's a meme? -- nm - FoxtoFail Oct 7, 11:14 18
- I have seen it posted several places and received at least 2 forwarded emails about it. Most of these were in August. -- nm - not2fast Oct 7, 11:23 1
  - I must surround myself with geniuses. -- nm - FoxtoFail Oct 7, 11:27
- If so it wins the reward for the fastest one ever. - Spawn Oct 7, 11:16
- Sure. -- nm - mara Oct 7, 11:15 14
  - because it was posted one time? -- nm - FoxtoFail Oct 7, 11:17 13
    - The word"meme" generally doesn't refer to how often things get posted on ST, but on Twitter, Facebook, blogs, etc. -- nm - mara Oct 7, 11:18 12
      - yes, I have seen that one a lot this week. it's on snopes, I believe. -- nm - loosilu Oct 7, 11:20
      - This is what's trending on Twitter right now? If I had invented that, I'd be so proud right now. -- nm - FoxtoFail Oct 7, 11:19
      - Yeah, like the huge TurbanGuy meme from earlier this week -- nm - Beryllium Oct 7, 11:18 9
        
        I think TFox (and I) are thinking "ST meme". -- nm - Spawn Oct 7, 11:19 8
        
        I'm in awe that that many people are dumb enough to believe that shit could be true. -- nm - FoxtoFail Oct 7, 11:20 6
        
        Things don't have to be true to be memes. (nm) - musubi Oct 7, 11:24 2
        
        But (other than hopefully the originator) I'm guessing people aren't spreading it as a prank. They buy it. -- nm - FoxtoFail Oct 7, 11:25 1
        
        I don't think so. That's no how memes are usually propagated. (nm) - musubi Oct 7, 11:29
        
        Well, ST tends to be smarter than other groups. -- nm - Spawn Oct 7, 11:21 2
        
        I guess. I just... *shudder*. I really didn't know til just now that thousands of people were spreading something that silly around. - FoxtoFail Oct 7, 11:22 1
        
        heh -- nm - Spawn Oct 7, 11:23
        
        Let Me In Cold Blood -- nm - Beryllium Oct 7, 11:19
Nope. -- nm - Spawn Oct 7, 10:59 3
- So, any idea where it came from? -- nm - not2fast Oct 7, 11:02 2
  - From the same dark places that spawned 312.50. -- nm - Spawn Oct 7, 11:04 1
