This is a QotW answer Plagiarism
I've put together about 800 of those made up facts. I posted a load on usenet about 7-8 years ago.

Seems like some cunt changed a minor detail and ripped them off

www.aleccarmichael.org/assets/10-things-final.swf

for example, he puts

"Jeffrey Dahmer was an avid collector of pre-war military carburettors"

Yet on 7 Apr 2002, I posted.
"Britney Spears is an avid collector of pre-war military carburettors"

and there's a good many others too

Twatty fuckstick

This is a QotW comment I'm going to be 100% honest with you here...
I wouldn't worry about it, he's only some web designer, it's not a big comerical organisation... and even then, I think your link to his stuff is tenious at best.

There are billions of websites (or pages) out there made by millions of people, there is bound to be someone copying someone else's stuff... most likey, by accident.

I've seen that Britney detail several times on those endlessly forwarded e-mails that go around.

Same here. People are cock gobbling fuck monkeys. Just remember, they'll die cold and alone from cancer of the helmet.

This is a QotW comment My plan
is to publish them as a big book. Or split them into two lots and have two years of "fact of the day"

This is a QotW comment .
that's the problem with the internets - people may fib a little, and occasionally copy. If it's book worthy why did you post it for free?

This is a QotW comment I only considered the book idea recently
when I found the posts on Google groups

This is a QotW comment This is just an honest opinion
and I don't want to be mean, but I personally don't think your facts are worth publishing.
