What I Learned from the News
-- From an article in USA Today about Internet plagiarism:
"They're like cockroaches," McKee says. "Ideas are our assets, and it's frustrating when people take them from you without shame."
Yes, cockroaches are like plagiarists in that both ... um. Actually, you can keep that idea.
-- From an article in the New York Times on Mel Gibson's arrest:
"The pervasiveness of the Internet has caused a dramatic increase in the dissemination of news," said Michael S. Sitrick, chairman of Sitrick & Company, who specializes in crisis communications.
Mr. Sitrick then explained how the tubes that make up the Internet are in no way like a dump truck.
-- From the Associated Press on a misprinted phone number in Honda's owner's manuals:
Owners who dial the 800 prefix hear a recorded message in which a woman's voice, speaking over a funky beat, urges them to call 1-800-918-TALK for "just 99 cents per minute."
No, my head gasket really is blown.
