I am plagiarizing this link from osewalrus :)

Be sure and read down to the "key", where he details how much of this article was, itself, "plagiarized". I love self-describing metatexts :)

That article is awesome. The following attribution brought tears to my eyes with it's sublime appropriateness:

“Invention, it must be humbly admitted . . . out of chaos.” Mary Shelley, from her introduction to Frankenstein.
