i put on my robe and wizard hat

ah. memes. mostly worthless and inexplicable. bits and pieces of random jibber-jabber that float around like spermatazoa in the acidic environment of the female reproductive tract.

(seriously, sometimes people go too far with the analogy of memes with genes. it gives a new meaning to the term "mindfuck.")

take "i put on my robe and wizard hat" for example (originally found on littleyellowdifferent.) the transcripts of some poor bored bastard lying in wait in the irc chat rooms, ambushing people who want to cyber. it just won't die. first, someone starts making t-shirts. then, what is more bizarre is that someone starts attributing the lines to themself, changing the chat handle, but not much else.

mutation at its finest.

why am i suddenly seized by the idea that the first artificial intelligence will be a horny bastard who likes to play dungeon and dragons?
