The '''O RLY?''' YTMND is the spawn of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_RLY? O RLY owl] of Internet Meme fame.
+
 
+
The original O RLY YTMND was created on May 21, 2006 by [http://ytmnd.com/users/limecat402/ limecat402].  It is only one of three YTMNDs he has made to date, but it is probably the most prolific YTMND to date due to its cult-status as an internet phenomenon.
+
 
+
A typical, basic O RLY YTMND consists of a wide-eyed [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowy_owl Snow Owl] with the phrase ''O RLY?'' juxtapositioned beneath it.
+
 
+
The phrase O RLY is internet shorthand for ''oh really'', and is typically used to mock AOL users or used as a response to a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-sequitur non-sequitur].  This use is very similar to ''I Love Lamp,'' which is used when someone says something particularly useless in a discussion you might be having with them.
+
 
+
The origins of this particular Snowy Owl come from [http://www.4chan.org 4chan] as a response to posts that were difficult to believe, non-sequitur, nonsensical, or drew skepticism.
+
 
+
Expansions upon the original phenomemna include a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Horned_Owl Great Horned Owl] emblazoned with the words "YA RLY!" in response to the Snowy Owl.
+
 
+
At this point in there there are hundreds, if not thousands, of permutations of this internet meme.  The ease of which this kind of YTMND can be created (read: a quick mspaint job) cause widespread use and abuse of the O RLY fad.
