How Plagiarism Software Found a New Shakespeare. I strongly believe that my twitter dashboard is a maze of wonderful things (at a 99% confidence interval rate) waiting to be unearthed. This was one of them. I find the concept truly fascinating - precisely so because of the (over)emphasis the academia places on Plagiarism and plagiarism detecting softwares. I've heard my Professors harp on the seriousness and consequences of plagiarism for over a year. While it doesn't apply to me directly (at least not at this point in time), I have always wondered the depths to which students will venture to, in order to get that perfect A+ without doing an ounce of work. Finding Shakespeare while trying to catch cheats, is a delightful composition of irony which I hope will assist to further expound on this chance discovery.

ETA: I take back what I said about my twitter dashboard - I now reduce the confidence interval to a 95% after a this post about Why Jews are liberals came up. I clicked with the hope of reading a (adequate) explanation to this direct, slightly controversial question asked by none other than The Gaggle (Newsweek). Duly disappointed and would like to claim back the 5 minutes of life wasted on reading it. Thank you very much.
