Susan Blackmore studies memes: ideas that replicate themselves from brain to brain like a virus. She makes a bold new argument: Humanity has spawned a new kind of meme, the teme, which spreads itself via technology -- and invents ways to keep itself alive

How many internet phenomenons can you cram into one music video?

Syd asked me to watch a video on www.ted.com. It was a talk about Ideas that are copied with some form of variation. She relates to a new form tech memes or temes that may be involved in us communicating with other alien beings in our universe.

Magnesium is one of the most commonly used structural metals, being light and strong. It's necessary for living cells. And was used in early flash photography. But what you really want to know, is it splodey? Let's find out!! Oh, and there are also special appearances by "Chris Crocker" and the "Cookie Monster" (both impersonations done badly by me) as they drag you kicking and screaming through a few Internet Memes of 2007. You can refer to WebElements (http://www.webelements.com/magnesium/) for more on Magnesium. Or just use Google, silly. Special thanks goes out to Martyrd (www.myspace.com/martyrd) for the use of "Blue and Black" in this video, and to Andrew (www.myspace.com/morbidcaffienejunkies) for being an excellent camera-using minion.

My reply to OneLessGod's People Pie Chart. He states; "PPC by OLG for ALL 2 C ! More details on my People Pie Chart. Religious and Political Leaders all belong to the category of the "Criminal-Evil", and take advantage of the Religious Moderates. The Religious Moderates belong to the "Ignorant" group and are the victims of the criminal minds by giving their rights away to them in exchange for APPEARING "good", "patriotic" or "altruistic". The Political or Religious Fundamentalists are the ones causing suffering without gaining anything themselves, so they belong to the "STUPID" category. A clear example of STUPIDITY is the conflict in the Middle East that is now spreading throughout the World. Free Thinkers, Humanitarians, Humanists and Secularists usually belong to the "Smart" category. They have realized that Social and Individual gain are mutually BENEFICIAL and THE ONLY TYPE OF SOCIAL SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS BOTH TO PROSPER IS ONE BASED ON FREEDOM, EQUALITY, HUMAN RIGHTS, AND THE SOCIAL AND PHYSICAL SCIENCES. You may call us "Brights" if you like.. :-)"

"Fear believescourage doubts. Fear falls up the earth and prays--- courage stands erect and thinks. Fear is barbarism---courage is civilization. Fear believes in witchcraft, devils and ghosts. Fear is religion, courage is science." ~ Robert G.

Another one bites the dust.

I did a similar video a couple days ago, which was terrible. It was the worst video I ever made. Yet, it's the most popular video I've ever uploaded. 16,000 hits on YouTube and growing. Weird, eh?

Dammit, Jim! I'm a doctor not a Jedi!

YouTube Missing Atheists PantySnatcher and TheClosetAtheist First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. When they locked up the social democrats, I remained silent; I was not a social democrat. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me. -Attributed to Pastor Martin Niemoller (18921984) "If they come for your freedom you must not only resist, you must strike back with a vengeance that will stun them. On this front, if your anger and outrage are not at the forefront then you're already dead" -Henry Rollins The atheist extermination continues. Here, see for yourselves. They both had a number of videos, honest. http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=PantySnatcher http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=TheClosetAtheist
