Bonsai Kitten is lost to the ravages of time.
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US"

In fact, clicking that "year:1994" turns up 108 results, so they're pretty comprehensive, although they only cover Web-based memes, usually with images, and not Usenet.
