    With those crazy eyes, this dude can peer into your soul and then sit down at his keyboard and rewrite, word-for-crappy-word, the lame 2,000-word college entrance essay that you semi-plagiarized.

    Maybe his cat wrote the story for him? No, then it would say "He gradjated from the Asoor...Azoor....Ahzor....collige and Ceiling Cat sent down bad storm and he fail."

    I think he figured the operative word was "Dickensian." See, programmers sometimes place useless items in their code so they can tell when it's stolen. That way you can't produce an operating system called "Mirrors" if Microsoft can show you have plenty of their markers in there. Microsoft has a high percentage of useless code, it's well known. Anyhow, this Gimbel guy figured if he didn't use "Dickensian" they'd never catch him on the plagiarism ploy if he used every other word. That's smart figuring.


    Doris KearnsGoodwin said she just got her notes mixed up with the ones she'd taken down from her sources. Sort of the Madoff alibi. And she's still on the talk shows on teevee. Try that if you're caught.

    Weirdness: I read this as Gumbel at first. Then I found this:


    "FORTUNE's Peter Gumbel and Barney Gimbel detail why analysts are divided over whether the Lehman acquisition is a stroke of genius or sheer madness."


    In any case, What a BARNEY!

    He's sort of cute? I'll forgive him if he ditches the glasses and washes his hair.
