The Internet is a weird place. It has a weird way of making things wildy popular that would never have been famous before the 'copy-paste' generation of email, links, blogs and IM.

Over the last decade, we've seen a massive number of funny videos, odd art, daft catchphrases and quirky trends. These 'memes', as they're generally known, spread like wildfire over the Web, sometimes reaching millions of people within hours, and millions more within days. They're known as 'virals' for an excellent reason.

Over the next ten pages we're going to explore the world of Web memes and present our ten favourites. Welcome to viral chaos... -Nate Lanxon
