The frenzy is dying down!

For the first time I got more hits from my own posts (the cosplay one in saiyuki, and yesterday's A-Kon pics) than any one blog posting the meme. :D The majority of traffic is still the meme, but I suspect the big hype is over unless it gets picked up by a well-known blog I'm holding out for Smart Bitches, Trashy Books.

I find it interesting that one blog described the scale as having "turned itself into a quiz," as if it did this all by itself. More sign that we perceive these things as viral in nature? :D

You make no decisions of your own, you're just a vehicle for the memes. :P

But is it a parasite or a ... oh, hell, forgot the officiamal scientifical name for creatures living in cooperation. I don't think it's "commensural."

ETA: Or maybe I am merely a host for part of its life cycle. XD

Symbiote.

Commensal, if it's not giving you a benefit.

Now if this makes you famous it's clearly a symbiote. ;)
