May be we should dedicate this link to Aroon Purie

Five Great Men Who Built Their Careers on Plagiarism over at Cracked.com.

The article uses incendiary language that goes way over the top at times (seems like it's the preferred style at Cracked.com), but it builds its case against the five men with ample references.

Perhaps we should dedicate this link to Mr. Purie, whose special skills include plagiarizing under jet-lag and "[writing] an apology that is defiantly nonapologetic." Check out Rahul's post and Grady Hendrix's note.

Thanks to Nikhil Narayanan for the Buzz.

    Would that Cracked.com link work for others or is it exclusive for the Aroon Purie-s?

    Cheers,

    Oops. I've fixed the link, now.

    Thanks, Arunn.
