But that's just my two cents.

That was definitely worth more than two cents. A good and thorough overview of what memes are. Thank you for making the point that memes are ideas not just jokes. The knowledge that rubbing two sticks together can start a fire is a meme.

Exactly! And that's another category, too! Not one that would be mixed up with the others, so I didn't include it, but memes that have real life use are among the oldest we have.

Stop, drop, and roll is a meme ;)
