Until a Mentifex post on "The Art of the Meme" appears on Usenet,
describing not what memes are but rather how to propagate them, a
florilegium or anthology of memetic stratagems will be presented.

http://www.eurekalert.org/ since May of 1996 is the "EurekAlert!"
news server at Stanford University for up-to-date science reports
from mainstream, world-class generators of official science news.

You as a pioneer in your own field, a Che Guevara of memevolution
or a Leon Trotsky of resistance to the cult of the normative, may
wish fervently to infiltrate, arbitrate or arrogate so powerful a
medium as "EurekAlert!" but you may not see the trick of memecry.
(Let's coin a word:  mimicry = imitation; memecry = propagation.)

           If you can't join them, assimilate them.

If you cannot engulf and swallow a meme-stream such as EurekAlert
you must hoist its banner high and be the messenger from whom the
Internet masses first heard of the wondrous phenomenon, a Website
which they may visit every two weeks for genuine sci-fact scoops.

The great unwebbed of the Internet will be so grateful to you for
EurekAlert! as a prime visitation and exploration site that memes
of your own choosing may now be inserted in place of Mentifex AI:
