When did the O RLY owl first come into being? I only saw it this fall.
these things develop so fast it's impossible to tell. BUT according to my memory, the owl and the "O RLY" thing developed as two separate things, and then later were combined! In fact I know that's true, because the owl thing started out as "everyday is owl".
Yeah, it's kinda weird how memes develop. Like viruses, which they are ofen compared to, they seem to come from multiple directions at once. Hell, I even saw the O RLY owl on Fark.com.
My dream is to start an intarnut-wide meme.
It is immortality of a sort.

When I first saw the "O RLY" owls on Fark, I laughed my ass off; here's Fark, once THE source for bad memes, having to borrow something that started (or at least was popularised) on 4chan!
Wow, you guys are internet addicts. I've never been to either of these sites (fark or 4chan).

o rly?
the term O RLY was started on SA, the owl was from 4chan.. then they got fused together...
and like all memes, 4chan kept on using it long after SA grew bored and discarded it for funnier things.

Well... considering 4chan made it (the owl), I don't see a problem with it..
And anyways, they have all but abandoned it now
>>16 it's still funny. it's still funny, RLY!
