This is funny - straight from The Inquirer (http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=17873):
A TWELVE year old kid [Nicholas Hinds] has put the wind up countless Kiwi students by interesting their Universities in a little plagiarism program he wrote.
So far so good. BUT:
Unfortunately the program works so well that it netted one plagiarism suspect – step forward 12 year-old computer Whiz kid Nicholas Hinds. His teacher Frank Lewthwaite found Nicholas had apparently borrowed material from an internet site.
Can you believe it? He is only twelve! When I was twelve, I was still playing arcade games on my Commodore Amiga 500! Heh, but at least I wasn't caught plagiarizing :earmuffs:
