Memes are thoughts that propagate - funny images are just one example. Before Richard Dawkins became a general troll and dickhead, he was a brilliant biologist who changed our understanding by noting that genes seek to propagate - not organisms, which are merely the vessels for those genes. He also hypothesised that human ideas could propagate in a way completely analogous to biological evolution - with ideas simply sticking around because they had the right properties to propagate rather than because they were particularly useful. The term, &lsquo;memes&rsquo; was coined to describe these units of idea that could stick and propagate. These little piles of stones seem a pretty fine example to me.
