Could this save the future of the human race?

Well, a quick little update before I move onto the more serious matter of the Meme. One more day left of placement and that's it, kinda scary that I'll no longer be a student. The job, they're being so slack and I still haven't been given an official yes but I'm 99% sure I have it, they're just taking their time, I'll be contacting them on Wednesday to get an update. I've just got a temporary, part time admin job at my university to give me some extra cash for the next month.

And onto the meme.

That's not true! I've seen other people comment on here before!

I had to smile when I saw the title of your post. I'm actually becoming quite fascinated by these memes now. The dictionary says that a meme is the cultural counterpart of genes that is passed on in a non-biological way, such as a thought or idea, and it evolves. I've noticed that the comments of a poster are usually influenced by the comments of the previous poster, but not identical. For eg: You're answers to "Three Things I Think You Should Listen To"
1. Yourself
2. Your friends and family
3. Children

were not too dissimilar to mine:

1. The people you love
2. The elderly
3. Children

which in turn were not too dissimilar to Jane who tagged me (her 3rd answer anyway):

3. The elderly - hardly anyone gives them the time of day yet they have such great stories to tell.

So I can see how this cultural "gene" - or peoples ideas - evolve. Am I waffling? I think so, but I'm fascinated. :D

All these comments! It makes me feel all warm and smiley :)

It makes complete sense to me MMW, you're not waffling at all. That said, I have had a little bit to drink tonight out with my former colleagues in celebration of my finishing - that may have something to do with it! I shall ponder this matter further when I am less sleep deprived!

Jenni, I shall continue to update my job saga, hopefully Is hould have more of an update tomorrow! If they've hade thier minds up! Manual Handling - such terribly exciting stuff! ;)

Mitch, good to see you again. :)
