The Future Science of Memetics

I've been in Assignment Hell (tm) this afternoon, and this should keep you all amused and entertained while I go to to class and hand in said assignment.



Via just about everyone:

Put your music-playing device on random and list a lyric or two from the first 25 songs to play. Implore your f-list to guess the songs (without googling!), because making the internet dance for your amusement is a time-honoured way to waste a few hours. Whoever guesses the most songs correctly gets Fabulous Internet Prizes (tm)!

9. Well it isn't a problem, nothing we can't keep between the sheets.

10. Selfish about my privacy as long as I can be with me: we get along so well I can't believe.

12. I've walked Las Ramblas, but not with real intent.

13. There was a Rapture so I can never see you anymore.

14. There’s nothing I’d like better than to fall but I fear I have nothing to give. (Sarah McLachlan -- Fear, stillsostrange)

17. Well, I put you inside of me but none of that matters anymore. (NIN -- Vessel, subject_zero)

18. Near where I live there's a viaduct where people jump when they're out of luck raining down on the cars and trucks below. They've put a net there to catch their fall like it'll stop anyone at all what they don't know is when nature calls, you go. (Barenaked Ladies -- War on Drugs, tanaise)

19. Now after all, don't feel like nothing: like walking away, like a mouth full of rain at twelve o clock.

...y'know, I knew a lot of my taste in music calcified around the mid-nineties, but that really brings it home.
