slang - Origin of "I can haz"?

It's one of a long line of "memes" emanating from 4chan (Along with lolcat, rickroll, etc.) It came from a picture of a cat with the caption "I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER?" and since then the "I can has" part has been applied elsewhere.



Basically it's an internet in-joke which became adopted by people who were not "in" with the joke.
