That meme slipped past my skeptic radar pretty well apparently. The list of words for snow is pretty humorous, and I'm sure anyone who actually reads the list realizes the hoax. http://www.mendosa.com/snow.html for the list Mon, 29 May 2006 14:20:16 GMT http://humanmemomeproject.tribe.net/thread/aa756895-f0e7-4bd0-a8a8-692061e960ba#b8d3dd87-a186-456b-8765-b30dae0111bf Jo 2006-05-29T14:20:16Z http://humanmemomeproject.tribe.net/thread/aa756895-f0e7-4bd0-a8a8-692061e960ba#8bfebee0-9f83-452f-8768-88d20c61a14a List of Snowclones From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The following is a list of collected snowclones.

(Original X: "scream"; from tagline for Alien) * All your X are belong to us. (Original X: "base"; from All your base Internet meme) * Have X, will travel. (Original X: "gun"; from title of old US TV western Have Gun — Will Travel) * To X, or not to X? (Original X: "be"; from Hamlet) * X considered harmful. (Original X: "Go To Statement"; from title of computer science article by Edsger Dijkstra) * X for fun and profit. (Original X: "Smashing the stack"; from title of Phrack article about Buffer overflows by Elias Levy; in turn modeled on how-to books since at least the 1930s, such as Working with Tools for Fun and Profit and Make Your Own Movies for Fun and Profit) * Y is the greatest thing since X. (Original X: "sliced bread"; from reaction to 1930s Wonder Bread advertising campaign) * These aren't the X you're looking for.

(see: The new black) * X, France surrenders. (Memorable usage in Wired magazine headline "Fark sells out. France surrenders." A reference to the rapid surrender of France to Nazi forces in World War II.) * Brother, can you spare a X? (Original X: "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?", Depression Era song by Yip Harburg and Jay Gorney.) * X $n, Y? Priceless.
