Perhaps, if we were to investigate the etymology of 'meme' it would go back to the Greek as well. As I said, I do not want to be too precious with a derivation.<br /><br />Yes, I understand that bloggers are stretching the limits of their CDPB 'rules' by posting out-of-area.

It is actually of Greek origin:<br /><br />meme |mēm| noun<br />memetic |mēˈmetik, mə-|adjective<br />ORIGIN 1970s: from Greek mimēma ‘that which is imitated,’ on the pattern of gene. :-)<br /><br />Lovely photo above, Julie. Planted flowers in a cemetery are so much better than fresh bouquets or (horror) plastic ones.<br /><br />My offering today is from my new blog that will allow me to venture more widely than Melbourne as I have quite a few cemetery pictures form different parts of the world.
