Well that was interesting. I dont know if i really believe the story or how much i believe. The idea of a meme is the internet form of the old school game telephone. The story is constantly changing and being spread across the world via the internet. The information can be in the form of rumors. The meme on the "60 minutes" piece was surprising because I view 60 Minutes as a reputable source of information. But I dont know where to find the truth. There is even a wikipedia page on the Hopkin Green Frog. Why did this issue become so large scale across the internet? Where is the orginal news story?
I think a meme is something valuable to tell my students about becuase it will show them why they shouldn't believe everything they read.
