I See Posts Before My Eyes

Anonymous asked: Hey Tom, you guys have no clue how publishing scientific papers works, do you? Doesn't matter if its "plagiarized" All that really matters is who publishes. So if Otto never published that work, theres nothing that can be really done against "Pete"

Who says Otto Octavius never published? He got to be the world’s foremost specialist on radiation somehow, right?

“Plagarize!

Let no one else’s work evade your eyes!

Remember why the good Lord MADE your eyes,

so don’t shade your eyes,

but Plagarize! Plagarize! Plagarize!

(Only remember please to be calling it ‘research’.)”

–Tom Lehrer, “Lobachevsky”
