Memes
I just finished reading 'The God Delusion' by Richard Dawkins. Acording to Wikipedia he coined the word 'meme' .
' Richard Dawkins coined the term meme, which first came into popular use with the publication of his book 'The Selfish Gene' in 1976. Dawkins based the word on a shortening of the Greek "mimeme" (something imitated), making it sound similar to "gene". '
I have seen this used in Blogs, and I'm still not sure these people are using the term correctly.
Anyway seems like several of the blogs I read are showing their Bookcases - so here goes:
The Playdoh on top of the Bookcase is for when my Grandson comes to visit.
