Here's some quotes from one guy (probably). Ahhhh it feels good to get back into the idea theft business. Thanks indexed. The last quote is especially relevant today (9-11).

Idea theft; quote theft...you just have to do it the right way.

Personally, I'm happy to give somebody credit for a quote the first time that I use it:

My friend Mike says,"...

The next time I might say something along the lines of:

Well, it's like I've said before, "...

Before you know it, I've assumed ownership by saying:

It's like I always say, "...

That way I don't have to remember who said all of the good stuff!

Always remember that the difference between research and plagiarism is the use of quotation marks...or, "As my friend Mike says, ..." (thanks, John).
