This meme was "getting attention" over 2 years ago...seems like every friggen blog on the planet was posting about it. It's surprising that you've only heard of it until now.

Thanks for pointing that out - I guess I miseed it the first time around :) I think I saw this on digg.com and then at least two other blogs. It made me smile so I mentioned it. I hadn't realised the googlebomb was so long ago - interesting that it's lasted all this time...
