...life. On the Red Line, under the seats on the ventilation grates, is a repeating pattern: three vertical lines, followed by three horizontal lines. To most, this is the kind of detail which has little meaning, but to Adams, it was the word “meme” written over and over. The pattern—and the word it encodes—stuck, and became the logo of the Gallery.The word ‘meme’ stems from the Greek word, mimema, defined as “something imitated.” It is a cultural unit...

...saving the planet, throwing eggs at a car dealership is a pretty dumb idea. It's even more stupid when your terrorist manifesto warning of retribution for "perpetuating the ignorant use of fossil fuels" is written on the back of the grocery receipt for said eggs. Such was the mistake of the four adults who egged a Toyota dealership near Moscow, Idaho, in May 2009. Police used the receipt to obtain store surveillance footage, which led to the four wannabes' arrest on vandalism charges...
