Q U O T E--O F--T H E--D A Y

Thou shalt not plagiarize

Someday I'd love to see the pope appear on his balcony and give the baseball scores.”

-- Comedian George Carlin, from his 1997 book "Brain Droppings."

Someday I wanna see the pope come out on that balcony and give the 
football scores.”


-- Boston Globe columnist Mike Barnicle, in a recent column. The Globe has asked Barnicle, who told editors he had never read Carlin's book but recommended it on a local TV news show, to resign over issues of plagiarism. Barnicle has refused and claims he was told the joke by a friend. Quoted by the Associated Press.
