Shot duck survives 2 days in a refrigerator The Associated Press January 20, 2007, 3:10 PM EST TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- The duck wouldn't die. Wildlife officials said the feathered Lazarus had been shot by a hunter and put into his refrigerator for two days. That's when the hunter's wife opened the door and the duck lifted his head, giving her a scare. The man's wife ``was going to check on the refrigerator because it hadn't been working right and when she opened the door, it looked up at her,'' said Laina Whipple, a receptionist at Killearn Animal Hospital. ``She freaked out and told the daughter to take it to the hospital right then and there.''

No, Hamlet. Final answer.

I was going to say Hamlet. Now I'm not so sure. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead?

Not often. :)

The honest way to approach such a rewrite while still taking responsibility for the contents is to refer to your own writing as an adaptation of the earlier work. It gives proper credit to the source material while conveying that you are amending it for whatever reason. I'll give you an example: in an early edition of "Future Considerations" (Chris Geer's newsletter back in 1989-92 or so), there's an article called "The Cry of Triumph." I believe the byline on the article says "Adapted By Walter Cummins." I don't remember specifically. And, if I'm not mistaken, Wierwille was credited as well. This gave Cummins the flexibility to retain Wierwille's words whenever he wanted, as he was not claiming original authorship. Yet he could also change whatever he wanted to account for differences of opinion based on further research (or error, depending on whether you accept Cummins' re-write). I'm not sure how the adaptation model works legally: could Wierwille legally adapt something written by someone else when he does not hold the copyright to the original work? Don't know. Not every copyright violation is plagiarism.

It's not on Juedes' site, but it is something Juedes co-wrote. http://www.caic.org.au/biblebase/way/eisegsis2.htm Quotes below are from the above article: LIAR!

I'm assuming you mean you don't see that in ATDAN, right? Because even you have to admit it's well-documented in RTHST. And I don't know if you ever looked for it in The Green Book, but I can look that up if you'd like (although I think it's on the Juedes site for free).

Well, it's clear in Receiving the Holy Spirit Today and in The New Dynamic Church that he did indeed steal the question and answer format, as well as several of the questions and answers. In and of itself, a Q&A format establishes nothing. However, taken in conjunction with other evidence of plagiarism, it fits the pattern. As for the notion that someone other than VPW held the copyright, it's irrelevant. It was copyrighted as being "by VPW," when in fact it was other people's work rearranged to provide a semblance of originality.

I don't think that's what Oldiesman is saying, Danny. Devin-Adair is a publishing company. I'm trying to look up info on them and can't really find anything solid (like, say, their own website?). But this idea of who owned the rights to VP's book is a straw man: Doesn't matter who owned it. He's still the one who committed the plagiarism (assuming there is plagiarism in that particular book, which I never looked into).

You GOT that? And you had trouble with Asterix?

Rocky, The way we play the game is, you post your quote after correctly guessing the last one. But please join the game. We could use some new blood here regularly. :) The summer love quote has to be The Notebook. I yield my turn to Rocky.

They are 14 and 11 and were right outside the door cleaning one of their rooms. As they are steps and not my bio kids, and as I am not yet their stepfather, I leave it to mom to tell them what to watch and what not to watch. Good thing is, they're not all that interested. One of them saw about 10 minutes. The other, none at all. It's because they were not watching that they were indiscriminate about when they became noisy. It just so happened they got noisy every time the script was explaining why Fayed wanted Jack. Was Fayed's brother in an earlier season? I'm trying to remember the name.

I kept missing the explanation of why Fayed wanted Jack. Anyone catch it? Everytime they started to explain it, my soon-to-be stepdaughters made some kind of commotion that overwhelmed the sound from the TV set. It was quite amusing: much like Bruce Willis trying to get a cup of coffee. Anyway, can someone tell me why Fayed wanted Jack?

The "nothing is written" line, and what comes after it, is both powerful and hilarious. you are correct.

"I can't make out whether you're a bloody madman or just half-witted." "I have the same problem, sir." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I'm promoting you Major." "I don't think that's a very good idea." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "What is your name?" "My name is for my friends. None of my friends is a murderer!" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Nothing is written." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Truly, for some men nothing is written unless THEY write it."

Really, you didn't get it? I understand that it was extremely complicated. I mean, jeez, how could anyone have figured out something so complex? Why, you need at least a second grade education to figure that out. Who's got the time?

"Be specific" means it's either a sequel or a remake, or an original that's had a sequel or remake. Some of the lines are somewhat familiar, while others are VERY familiar. So I'll go with... The Producers non musical version, the one with Gene Wilder and whatshisname.

That was LCM? I saw it on a T-shirt once at Shea Stadium during a Promise Keepers rally. ANNNNyway... easy one

Ah, it's the TYPE of shark. Ok... God/George/Burns Dish (This?) (The?) Mako John/Travolta/V/Jet/Engine/ (injun?) I'm no closer. LOL!!!!!! God Dish Mako Pilot God Is My co-Pilot That was a movie? If God is your co-pilot, SWITCH SEATS!

They're all showing. I was just making funny.

I see a shark and a jet, but somehow, I don't think the answer is west side story.

I say Tom can take it if he wants to just continue the game, but he did not get it until the clue was supplied. He stumbled on it, but didn't realize what he stumbled on.
