Steampunk Palin

This exists. Our first reaction was, "Say what?" While our second reaction was, "Of course!" The Internet is a great seething cauldron of complex meme-molecules combining, re-combining, splitting, morphing. Some mutations are fatal, while others form sub-species, like Hitler Rants or Rickrolling, that show signs of immortality. In our view, steampunk reached its height as a science fiction sub-genre with The Difference Engine, by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling. But on the Internet, no popular culture DNA is ever truly lost.
