Here is a thought-provoking question: What makes an imaginary world engaging? Why does the Star Wars galaxy still twinkle in our minds while poor old Buck Rogers has faded into a black hole of obscurity? What makes Middle Earth still feel like home, while Narnia seems more like a holiday destination that just didn't live up to the brochure?

Maybe it's because Tolkien and Lucas filled every nook and cranny of their imaginary worlds with deep lore, from the glistening halls of the elves to the dark crevices of Mustafar, making them feel as real as our own world.

Or could it be that these worlds have given birth to an abundance of memes, both humorous and insightful, that we have adopted into our own geek culture? Dive into this collection of 33 memes for geeks and ponder no more, for in the words of Gandalf, "all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us" - and right now, that time is best spent laughing.
