My seven random people are all Moores who are of no know relationship, but who have blogs: Ironically, today in the mail my kids got one of those sticker club chain letters. Based on the above, I am going to help my kids send it on. Does anyone know where I can get some four leaf clover stickers?.I love debunking rumors the way they do on Urban Legends like the e-mail chain letter about the kid trying to get into the Guinness Book of World Records for receiving the most business cards. It’s amazing that there is usually some truth in the rumor.Fay and Roy have amazing luck and say "Praise the sun god Ra!” Antonio suffers multiple mishaps but refuses to reverse his actions, arguing that as a Catholic praising another god is blasphemy and idolatry. Fay and Roy eagerly make letters but Antonio throws his in the garbage, refusing to believe in nonsense. I hate reality TV. Give me a good old sitcom like Wings. I especially like the on where Fay, Antonio and Roy receive chain letters instructing them to make more copies to send to friends and praise the sun god Ra.Depending on their decision to either pass the letter on or to break the chain, the various characters encounter romance, fulfillment–and sudden death. The story involves nine upwardly mobile Manhattanites, all of whom receive a chain letter. I really like movies, but I have never seen Chain Letters. The film is by Independent filmmaker Mark Rappaport who paints a wicked picture of the New York Yuppie.Calvin and Hobbes is my favorite comic strip. Calvin receives a chain letter stating that "a man in Denver made 20 copies and was awarded a raise" and that "a man in Seattle broke the chain and he went bald." When Hobbes says that the chain letter is "nonsense for superstitious nincompoops" and advises Calvin to throw it away, the letter continues "and a dumb kid like you listened to his friend and got run over by a cement mixer.".I think Murphy’s Law and its corollaries are absolutely true, particularly Hanlon’s Razor which reads: “Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity.”.I am not superstitious, but I do think there is such a thing as bad luck. ![]() I wondered if this “tag” is a blogosphere version of a chain letter. I quickly did some research and discovered that it’s a meme. A meme ( pronounced /mi:m/), as defined by memetic theory, constitutes a theoretical unit of cultural information, the building block of culture or cultural evolution which spreads through diffusion propagating from one mind to another analogously to the way in which a gene propagates from one organism to another as a unit of genetic information and of biological evolution. To avoid the bad luck that will befall me if I don’t send this “meme” on to seven other bloggers, I will dutifully comply.
