Yeah, I first learned the word meme in my philosophy of science type classes in college, and then saw it on the internet later and thought it was cool that so many people knew the word - until I realized they didn't actually know the same word.

aw, don't pine! You should come out when I have my beit din, once I find out when it's going to be (alas, it may not be until September or October because all the non-Orthodox rabbis in town are going to Israel at different times over the summer and thus can't be convened until they're all back in the country).
