Круговорот мыслЕй в науке

Каррент сонг последней недели, actually :)

Plagiarize,
Let no one else's work evade your eyes,
Remember why the good Lord made your eyes,
So don't shade your eyes,
But plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize -
Only be sure always to call it please 'research'.

I have a friend in Minsk ,
Who has a friend in Pinsk ,
Whose friend in Omsk
Has friend in Tomsk
With friend in Akmolinsk.
His friend in Alexandrovsk
Has friend in Petropavlovsk,
Whose friend somehow
Is solving now
The problem in Dnepropetrovsk.

And when his work is done -
Ha ha! - begins the fun.
From Dnepropetrovsk
To Petropavlovsk,
By way of Iliysk,
And Novorossiysk,
To Alexandrovsk to Akmolinsk
To Tomsk to Omsk
To Pinsk to Minsk
To me the news will run,
Yes, to me the news will run!

And then I write
By morning, night,
And afternoon,
And pretty soon
My name in Dnepropetrovsk is cursed,
When he finds out I publish first!

Wow, wow, Lobachevskiy immortalized :)

It reminds me… reminds me… These was this funny quote about anticipatory plagiarism - that it occurs when someone steals your own idea and publishes it a hundred years before you were born. I don’t remember who said that )))

I bet the idea was stolen! :)

(laughing) I only hope Tom Lehrer did not steal (pla-gi-a-rize) this lyrics by any chance :)))
