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

But as I still have one exam to go, I was busy procrastinating and checking out bookmarks from 24 months+ ago. Clicking through, I found this gem of a website. So here we go, Capitalism explained using cows.

TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM -- You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.

AN AMERICAN CORPORATION -- You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when the cow drops dead.

FRENCH CORPORATION -- You have two cows. You go on strike because you want three cows.

A JAPANESE CORPORATION -- You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create clever cow cartoon images called Cowkimon(tm) and market them world-wide.

A GERMAN CORPORATION -- You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.

A BRITISH CORPORATION -- You have two cows. Both are mad.

AN ITALIAN CORPORATION -- You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. You break for lunch.

A RUSSIAN CORPORATION -- You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 12 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.

A SWISS CORPORATION -- You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you. You charge others for storing them.

A HINDU CORPORATION -- You have two cows. You worship them.

A CHINESE CORPORATION -- You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim full employment, high bovine productivity, and arrest the newsman who reported the numbers.

AN ARKANSAS CORPORATION -- You have two cows. That one on the left is kinda cute.

ENRON CORPORATION -- You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. Sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States, leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release. The public buys your bull.

ARTHUR ANDERSON, LLC -- You have 2 cows. You shred all documents that Enron has any cows, take 2 cows from Enron for payment for consulting the cows, and attest that Enron has 9 cows.

I stumbled across 1001 Rules For My Unborn Son a few weeks ago, and bookmarked it for later reading. There's 366 rules in there at the minute, and I agree with around 300 of them. It's definitely worth spending 30 minutes reading through them and seeing the accompanying images and quotes.

Here's some of my favourite rules:

• You Can Never Overdress
• An Hour With Your Grandparents Is Time Well Spent
• In Monopoly, Buy The Orange Properties.
• When In Doubt, Wear a Tie.
• If You Don't Know What a Word Means, Ask. Before It's Too Late
• Smile At Pretty Girls
• If You're Good At Something, Never Do It For Free

Plus my favourite quote:

Be like a duck. Remain calm on the surface and paddle like hell underneath.
- Michael Caine

• You tab-complete me
• You look del.icio.us
• Roses are #FF0000, Violets are #0000FF, All my base, are belong to you.
• I digg your facebook. YouTube wanna come back to myspace to boing boing?
• unzip && strip && touch && finger && mount && fsck && more && yes && umount && eject && sleep
• I seem to have lost my MAC address, can I have yours?
• I'd double click that
• There should be as little %20 between us as possible
• I wish to instantiate your Class. Maybe we can create children that will inherit our methods.
• I'd fight off Gannon and Bowser for you babe
• Come over to my room, and we can slap each other around with a large trout.

And of course, no list would be complete without I put on my robe and wizard hat.

Malacandra raised a good question though. What do you think, reckon Mr Wolowitz will be using some of the lines in upcoming weeks?

Any quotes that I've missed? Any that you think deserve to be up there but don't? Let me know in the comments
