Now, Chris Heilmann (@codepo8) deserves special recognition. He wrote the original song in code, which was retweeted a few weeks? months? later and kicked all this off. Once he got going, he just couldn't stop. Here's a few of my favourites from him:

There were loads more tweets than the few I've got listed here, but I'm afraid I left it too long to blog about it. I was working while the meme trended, but still wanted to record a few of my favourites here. You can see a few more using Twitter Search
