When I was in high school, many years ago, I did reverse plagiarism on my senior research paper on bowhunting. I went through my Field & Streams and Outdoor Life mags and found authors' name of stories in them and gave them my quotes! There was no way in hell that they were going to be able to track down articles from two year old or older magazines.

Unrelated: In college, I had an anti-hunter speech teacher who was known to be very subjective as it stood. I did a pursuasive speech on why hunting shouldn't be banned and he gave me a "C". All speeches were video taped. I complained to the head of department, they reviewed it and gave me an "A." Man I enjoyed smiling at him every day after that!
