NEW YORK - Neale Donald Walsch, best-selling author of “Conversations with God,” said Tuesday that he unwittingly passed off another writer's Christmas anecdote as his own in a recent blog post.
As a result, Walsch's blog on the spirituality Web site Beliefnet.com has been shut down. The Web site said in a statement that Walsch had failed to properly credit and attribute material from another author.
Walsch had written about what he described as his son's holiday concert two decades ago in which children were to hold up letters spelling “Christmas Love.” One of the children held the "m" upside down, so the audience got the message “Christwas Love,” according to the retelling.
Next: Moses and David sue Dubya for "Mission Accomplished", a phrase both uttered when they, respectively, slew Goliath and split the Red Sea!

There's far more plagiarism going around than people are aware of.

I was going to suggest to Cappy this is hardly a new thing, that there is a historical precedent for this--like, the first four books of the New Testament. You stole my joke before I got a chance to make it! How dare you, I hate you, you dickhead, etc.

I know dude. I was in finance until April of 2008. Glad I got out when I did. Good luck man, hopefully things will start to turn up. If you're investing, remind clients now should be a great time for them...they can buy on the low.

Noah split the Red Sea, Moses was in the Whale's belly, Jonah slew Goliath, and David loved Jonathan.
