Did a little bit of editing, just a touch. (Thanks a LOT Dan004, and Arivne of course.) Added a few examples. As to why I didn't add some examples:

- Mnemosyne: As SolypSchism said, it doesn't really fit.

- The jigsaw example: The woman doesn't really keep the puzzle untouched, after all.

- Simpsons: I get it in that Homer didn't eat the lobster like he was supposed to... but it's not like Pinchy was reminding him of someone, so I don't think it qualifies.

- Seinfeld: Peterman keeping the cake isn't really a case of not disposing the disposable. The cake is meant to be a memento from the kings' wedding.

- Ditto Big Bang Theory. You're supposed to keep Spock's napkin, not use it.

- As for Brady Bunch, a kiss is not an object. Sorry.

- Dr Who's dried leaf: I think it's just a memento. I mean it's not uncommon to save leaves or flowers, usually inside the pages of a book.

- Arthur's moldy food doesn't fly because it gets moldy and then thrown out. Not really kept. Plus (this is the big one) it isn't really a memento for anything else, its value is in itself for being funny by resembling Lincoln, etcetera.

(I feel like Umberto Eco defining things strictly because they are in place of something else. I'm loving it haha.)

------------------
Two things:

I'm not sure what to do with the red link at the end. Excessive Grief isn't done but it looks like it will be, so I kept it. Is it OK?

ALSO what does 'intercept' mean in this context?: "an automated intercept message". Couldn't I just erase the word 'intercept' and the meaning of the sentence would be the same?

BUT beside those two points, you guys think it's ready to launch? I gave it another hat towards that purpose!
