Why is it called a meme?

I have been memed by the fabulous b. It looks interesting.

Rules:
1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Turn to page 123.
3. Skip to the 5th sentence.
4. Post the next 3 sentences.
5. Tag 5 other people.

The nearest book to me right now is 501 Spanish Verbs. But since that one doesn't actually have sentences, just verb conjugations, I'm going to skip over it to the next one. The second nearest is Obsessed by Ted Dekker.

"Stephen's backpack sat on the floor, contents dumped out and thoroughly examined. Piles of kitchenware were stacked neatly on the dinette. The knickknacks so carefully arranged by Rachel Spritzer had been taken from the walls and shelves along with the paintings."

It says I'm supposed to tag 5 other people, but I can't really come up with any names for tagging that haven't already been.
