What is a meme?

My mother was intrigued by the meme on my blog last week so she completed her own list of the meme of four and e-mailed it to me. Now she wants to know what is a meme. According to Wikipedia -- the free encyclopedia on the Internet -- the term "meme" (rhymes with "theme"), derived from the Greek word mimema, "something imitated" often refers to a piece of information passed from one mind to another. And now you know too. Everyone I tagged completed their assignment! I am a persuasive blogger. (wink)
