[060206] Bloody 7 ques...

Read thru Kenn's blog and guess what, he had another meme done and lucky me, he passed it on to me to carry it on.... hmm... but before i carried it out, i decided to source out what the **** is a meme and according to Wikipedia, a meme is derived from the Greek word mimema, "something imitated" often refers to a piece of information passed from one mind to another. The term first came into popular use with the publication of the book The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins in 1976, and the conceptual framework of memes borrows from the study of genes -- the units of biological transmission. Historically, the notion of a unit of social evolution, and a similar term (from Greek mneme, 'memory'), first appeared in 1904 in a work by the German evolutionary biologist Richard Semon: Die Mnemische Empfindungen in ihren Beziehungen zu den Originalenempfindungen, translated into English in 1921 as The Mneme. By analogy with genetics, a meme passes from generation to generation via family and cultural traditions or training rather than via sexual reproduction, with occasional "mutations." Another common usage of the term "meme" relates closely to academic study of folklore and the informal communication of cultural information, in which memes fit into an analogy of "language as a virus".

In simple terms, a meme is sort of like a chain letter... sheesh.. all those words to explain what a chain letter is... and dun get me started, chain letters under Wikipedia has almost 4 parapgraphs just to expain the concept... why make simple things so difficult... anyways, back to this current meme... here it goes:
