This is quite a cool interactive calendar of Internet memes, you can zoom in to browse by day, week or month back through the history of lulz and other.

Any missing, I'm not looking too closely but Free Hugs doesn't seem to be there.

I have to say, I laughed as much at Leroy Jenkins as I did the first time - just something about listening to detailed technicals and just 'fuck it', 'to the resCUE!'...

Just too funny,

Looking at the starting dates of those "memes" (nothing against Dawkins, but we already had plenty of words for what he calls a meme) reminds me of how un-cool I am. :tongue: I heard about most of those *long* after they became popular, with the exception of The Dancing Baby. Someone e-mailed me that very early, as I recall. And of course some are completely new to me.

Poll options? Copycat threads before the prohibition. The use of "Official" in thread titles. The use of ### in thread titles. That's all I got. :p

I'm not sure how accurate they all are, Tourist Guy on the WTC is listed as starting on September 10th, 2001, prescient indeed.

I think it's a work in progress, memes added and dates refined.

No ROFLMAO, no 1337-speak?

Oh, I see. The article misuses the word "meme" to mean "famous shit."

Misuse of the word "meme" then.
