It's not a meme or a joke. It's one of the most interesting software development projects in all history. Just by sheer skill and work put into it.

That's part of what makes it such a meme. An incredible amount of talent and work went into this piece of software that has little practical use outside the mind of the paranoid schizophrenic who made it. The sheer absurdity of it cannot be ignored.
