    What is a meme? We've all seen it written down. We've all pretended to know what it is at parties with cool people, but most of us really don't know what they are. Well, that's what we scientists are for. I'll tell you. A meme, is a sociological concept, in which a thing cannot be understood outside of the society in which it was created and thus, encapsulates the entirety of that society. Imagine if you will the biggest thing you can. The biggest thing I can imagine is a massive castle. Now, imagine that squashed into a thing the size of a medium sized Frenchman. Very small. That's what a meme is. Our research suggests that in order to compose a meme on your own all you have to do is acquire a cat. Once you have take a photograph of the cat doing something. Here's a prime example. He's called chemistry cat (laughs). Look he's doing chemistry like what we do. That's a thing a cat can do inside a moomin. And err there he is, he's he's saying words which cats can't usually do. He's saying 'did you hear about oxygen and magnesium? OMG!' HAHAHA. It's very clever because it's a meme within a miaow miaow. The miaowme of OMG spliced with the mimuh of chemistry cat. I really like them! They made me do a lol. Any questions?
