I keep seeing all this very interesting memeological discourse about the Great Meme Depression 2k15 but I think y’all are going about it all the wrong way. Y’all are treating memes like they are a physical commodity that operates as part of an internet economy. Y’all are concocting capitalist metaphors to describe something that is ultimately spiritual. Memes have a life force of their own, a unique way of being, and they descend upon us and ascend at will. No amount of meme studies will truly be able to predict the life of a meme, from where they come or when they leave us. Is this not the failing of corporate use of memes? Their attempt to understand and harness a force of nature? Let the meme be free! Be patient and still, with open eyes and an open heart, and the meme will come unto you, and the meme will make its ascension again when its work is done. Memes are not currency, folks. Memes are errant gods.
Speaking of worms, my mind is still completely blown by Syllis ramosa, the polychaete annelid with a branching body. It lives only inside sea sponges, growing all through the sponge pores, and its anatomy is like a reverse hydra: one head, many butts.
Many MANY butts.
There is no known limit on how many butts this animal can have.
They’ve been recorded with butts in the thousands and probably just keep on growing them with the sponge host.
LET ME FURTHER ELABORATE ON THE HILARITY OF THE BEST AMERICAN POLITICAL PRACTICE TO EXIST, “THE ANNUAL RUNNING OF THE INTERNS”:
RECORDINGS ARE NOT ALLOWED INSIDE THE U.S. SUPREME COURT. SO WHEN A DECISION IS MADE, COPIES ARE HANDED TO MEMBERS OF THE PRESS INSIDE THE BUILDING IN A PRESS ROOM WHO THEN LEAVE THEIR ROOM TO HAND THE COPIES OF THE RULING TO THEIR INTERNS (WHO AREN’T ALLOWED INSIDE THE PRESS ROOM)
(PICTURED: INTERNS FROM 2013, WAITING FOR THEIR RUN)
AND THEN THE INTERNS HAVE TO DELIVER THE COURT RULINGS WHILE THE JUSTICES ARE ANNOUNCING THEIR DECISION INSIDE THE COURTROOM ITSELF.
SO THE INTERNS RUN THROUGH THE SUPREME COURT BUILDING FROM OUTSIDE THE PRESS ROOM TO OUTSIDE, ACROSS THE PAVED WALKWAYS, AND DOWN THE STAIRS OF THE COURTHOUSE AREA INTO THE BROADCASTING PRESS PEN IN THE STREET.
(A PREVIOUS YEAR’S INTERN RUN WINNER)
INTERNS ARE TOLD THEY MAY TO THROW SOME ELBOWS IF NECESSARY.
AND ALL ARE RACING TO BE THE FIRST TO DELIVER THE COURT RULINGS TO THEIR RESPECTIVE BROADCASTERS WHO ARE WAITING TO GO ON AIR
PICTURED IN FRONT IS YESTERDAY’S INTERN WINNER LAUREN WHO SAID SHE “JUST LIKED TO WIN” WHEN SHE PULLED CLEAR AHEAD TO DELIVER THE OBAMACARE RELATED DECISION.
