I'm aware that "imitation" and "plagiarize" are words that inherently imply intent. Adding "accidental" was kind of a play-on-words on my part. I'm imitating Adam and Eve? Huh? By procreating? I'm "imitating" (not accidentally!) every living thing that ever existed, aren't I? Thanks, Monkey. I’m aware that “imitation” and “plagiarize” are words that inherently imply intent.

This calculation is common in a high school Physics class. Congratulations on having a baby it is indeed one of the most exciting things. PS, you are imitating Adam and Eve -- or 'Lucy' if you prefer. “Accidental imitation” and “accidentally plagiarized” are misleading terms. This calculation is common in a high school Physics class.

I was reading the Digg headlines this morning, saw the title of the post "How far away is the horizon" and my heart fell to my stomach. I quickly realized that it wasn't your article. I even saw your comment that you left on that submission, but didn't realize it was you until i read this post. Are you Trying to get our servers Digged again? DUDE!
