Durova's evil guide to plagiarism:
"Don't copy from the live version of the article. Copy a historic version from a year ago. Your teacher doesn't understand how Wikipedia page histories work and won't find the text on a Google search. The older version will appear more primitive and more believably yours. You'll get a safe B instead of a fingernail-biting A or an F for plagiarism. So go stay out late at that party, relax, and cheat smarter not harder."
Anyone who feels the need to plagiarize in this way probably lacks the foresight needed to implement the technique. The need and the foresight are mutually exclusive. :-)
