Look guys. There are all kinds of replicators. The word "meme" has been
coined to refer to the ones in the mind. There are certainly ones outside
the mind, such as the Eiffel Tower, Shakespeare's plays and dreadlocks. But
let's think about how to spread which memes and not so much about
definitions, huh?

For those of you not following the Journal of Memetics mailing list, I
thought it interesting to note that the professional academics in the field
of memetics are just now getting around to dividing into camps and duking it
out over an issue Wade, myself and others brought to your enlightened CoV
attention months ago: The Neural vs. Extrocranial Meme debate.

The Church of Virus--always first to you with the great debates that shape
your world!
