A meme, a neologism coined by Richard Dawkins, is "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture".

A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme.

Supporters of the concept regard memes as cultural analogues to genes in that they self-replicate, mutate, and respond to selective pressures.

The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that use the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link devices worldwide.

It is a network of networks that consists of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope, linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies.

The Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents and applications of the World Wide Web (WWW), electronic mail, telephony, and peer-to-peer networks for file sharing.

A joke is a display of humour in which words are used within a specific and well-defined narrative structure to make people laugh.

It takes the form of a story, usually with dialogue, and ends in a punch line.

It is in the punch line that the audience becomes aware that the story contains a second, conflicting meaning.

This can be done using a pun or other word play such as irony, a logical incompatibility, nonsense or other means.

Linguist Robert Hetzron offers the definition:

A riddle is a or question or phrase having a double or veiled meaning, put forth as a puzzle to be solved.

Riddles are of two types: enigmas, which are problems generally expressed in metaphorical or allegorical language that require ingenuity and careful thinking for their solution, and conundra, which are questions relying for their effects on punning in either the question or the answer.

An epic poem, epic (from Latin epicus, from the Ancient Greek adjective, epikos, from, epos, "word, story, poem"), epos (from Latin epos, from Greek, epos), or epopee (from French épopée, from neo-Latin epopoeia, from Ancient Greek, epopoiia) is a lengthy narrative poem, ordinarily concerning a serious subject containing details of heroic deeds and events significant to a culture or nation.

Milman Parry and Albert Lord have argued that the Homeric epics, the earliest works of Western literature, were fundamentally an oral poetic form.

These works form the basis of the epic genre in Western literature.

Nearly all Western epic (including Virgil's Aeneid and Dante's Divine Comedy) self-consciously presents itself as a continuation of the tradition begun by these poems.

Classical epic employs dactylic hexameter and recounts a journey, either physical (as typified by Odysseus in the Odyssey) or mental (as typified by Achilles in the Iliad) or both.

Epics also tend to highlight cultural norms and to define or call into question cultural values, particularly as they pertain to heroism.
