We already know dead people can vote, but here's a new one for you: They can plagiarize, too. A few years ago I read a "George Orwell" quotation that had begun to gain some currency: "The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it." The problem is Orwell never said it. And I ought to know.
Because I said it.
(Or, to be precise, I wrote it.)
