Guess that's why they claim eatin' ain't cheatin'

Bill Clinton wasn't the only politician to think getting a blow job from a young intern wasn't sex. Others also claimed getting a little head wasn't the same as crawling into bed with someone.

All the news that's fit to steal

I am never forget the day I first meet the great Lobachevsky.
In one word he told me secret of success in mathematics: Plagiarize!
Let no one else's work evade your eyes;
Remember why the good Lord make your eyes:
And plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarze.
--Stolen from Tom Lehrer
