But let's begin with some with some plagiarism - something I copied almost word for word from Gerard Holmgren.
Why did I copy it ?
Well, there were quite a few reasons. The first is that I've never had an original thought of my own, and since becoming a 9/11 untruther, I've made a name for myself simply by copying whatever seems to be useful to put me in the spotlight -even when I don't have a clue what it all means - which is most of the time.
The second is that this Holmgren fellow pissed me off very badly, by exposing that I know nothing at all about physics - just when when I had spent two years bullshitting my way through pretending to be an expert in the subject.
You see, when two objects collide, I always thought that whichever of the objects was moving faster received more of the force of the collision. Actually, I hadn't really thought about it all, but that's what my good mate Jim Fetzer said and if he said it, then that was good enough for me.
Here is what Fetzer actually said.
"You cannot assume that the difference between pop cans and steel settles anything.... The speed at which impacts occur is one of their most important properties and make a huge difference here "
And that sounded OK to me. But Holmgren challenged it quoting some thing called "Newton's third law of motion" which apparently says that the amount of force received by both objects is equal. He even provided some links to basic physics sites which explained the concept.
Something like " for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction".
Apparently, people learn it in school as teenagers ...whatever...
Frankly, I don't even understand it now,but it seems to be accepted scientific doctrine - whatever it really means - so I copied all the explanations that Holmgren sent, along with the links ,and put them on my site as my own work to show off my knowledge of what's- his- name's third law of emotion or whatever the hell the thing is. It seems to be something that I was expected to know if I was calling myself a physics expert.
You can see the postings here.

Basically, I just copied what Holmgren sent and put it up on the website as my own work and it seemed to go down pretty well.
But here's what really pissed me off . Holmgren also wrote a satire - mocking Fetzer, myself and Judy Wood for not knowing what this stupid third law of emotion thing was.
Well, the solution was easy. I took Holmgren's satire - changed a couple of words here and there, and changed the name of the author, and posted it on my site as my own work. The original was satirizing myself and Fetzer for thinking that the faster moving object got less force, but I just changed the names to attribute that little faux pas to someone else, and made it out to be a satire I had written myself aimed at the people I had now attributed it to.
Too easy !
Then I copied all the stuff Holmgren had sent explaining this third law of emoticon or whatever the hell the thing is and posted that as my own work to make it look like I actually understood the subject.
Too easy again !
You can see the result at the link above.
Now - just to show you what a masterful piece of plagiarism this was, I'm going to post Holmgren's original satire and then my version.
I 'll do it paragraph for paragraph. Holmgren's original in red, and mine in black.
Today, my small station wagon was involved in a head collision with a stationary Mack Truck.
Yesterday, I was driving from Tucson to Saguaro National Park in my big ol' Toyota Landcruiser. It was a perfect day -- no Wile E. Coyote and not a cloud in the sky. Unfortunately, I was involved in a collision with a big Dump Truck
I was going about 40 mph as I came around the bend and saw the truck in my path with no way around it. Utilizing what I’ve learned about physics in recent times, I realized that if I braked, I would still be going 10 to 20 miles mph at impact and thus my flimsy car faced certain obliteration in the collision with the massive truck, so instead I put the foot to the floor and was going about 110 mph by the time I hit. It was this quick thinking which saved me, because the stationary truck had little resistance to the speed of my car. I literally sliced through the truck, leaving a neat hole the exact shape of my car, with my car and I perfectly intact.I was going about 50 mph as I came over a hill and saw this big truck in my way. It was too late to steer around it. But I knew what to do! Using what I'd learned about physics on 9/11-forums recently, I knew if I hit my brakes I would still be going 25 mph at impact. My SUV would be wiped out in the collision with the huge truck, so instead I put the pedal to the metal and I must have been going 150 mph by the time I hit it. My quick thinking saved me. The stationary truck could not stand up to the massive kinetic energy of my Toyota. I sliced through that big truck and left a neat hole the exact shape of my Landcruiser (just like I always do). It was really cool how my Toyota and I remained perfectly intact
As the front of my car emerged from the other end of the truck, I realized that any moment now, my car would suddenly vaporize – and me with it, so just in time, I flung open the door and threw myself out.
Just before the front of my SUV came out from the other end of the Dump Truck, I realized that any moment my car would suddenly shred into nothing and me with it. Just in the nick of time, I flung open the door and jumped out
Moments later the car completely disappeared, although they found the steering column a few blocks away and one of the door handles flew across a line of parked cars to land on top of a van where it was apparently photographed by police.
I thought my SUV completely disappeared, but they found the steering wheel 500 feet away and apparently one of the headrests flew over Mount Lemmon (el. 9,157 ft.) and landed on top of a saguaro cactus where the sherriff photographed it.
I am eternally grateful to Jim Fetzer for saving my life, as it was his words which I remembered in that split second when I had to make the decision as to whether to brake or accelerate.
[[The speed at which impacts occur is one of their most important properties and make a huge difference ]]
Had I chosen to brake, my car and I would have been obliterated prior to impact rather than after it had been completed.
I am eternally indebted to Arabesque, reprehensor, and Greg Jenkins for saving my life because it was their words which I remembered in that split second when I had to decide whether to brake or accelerate. The speed of my impact with that huge Dump Truck made a huge difference. If I had hit my brakes, my car and I would have been wiped out.
BTW. I am grateful to the person who found my passport and handed it in. It was on the back seat when the car vaporized and of course it finished up under the truck after the car had disappeared.
P.S. I really appreciate the person from ACME Steel Airplane Company who found my passport and turned it in. It was on the back seat when I went through the Dump Truck and of course it ended up near the Dump Truck after my Landcruiser disappeared.
I am also thankful that I was driving a medium sized Holden. Constable Reynolds told me that had I been in a large Falcon, my car and I would have been obliterated on impact, but thankfully medium sized Holdens behave differently in a crash situation.
P.P.S. I am also thankful that I was driving a Toyota Landcruiser. Deputy Reynolds told me that if I had been in a hulking Ford Expedition, I would not be here today. But, thank God, Landcruisers behave differently in a crash situation.
END PLAGIARIZED ARTICLE.
As you can see I had so little understanding of how Holmgren was taking the piss out of me, that I even stupidly left my own name in the end part as the object of ridicule,but who cares ? Nobody reads any more, anyway. They just watch videos - which suits me fine, because I can ponce behind a podium and call myself and expert,and no one gets a chance to check anything.
Anyway, just to put the icing on the cake, I decided to put this at the bottom of the plagiarized posting.
"Copyright Morgan Reynolds 2006+ unless otherwise specified. Distribution of and linking to the articles on this website is strongly encouraged, as long as the content is not manipulated or distorted in anyway. "
Holmgren apparently took exception to this - he's a rather crude and blunt type,and sent me a characteristically crude and blunt message which read:
"Copyright Morgan Reynolds ? Dream on, you idiot. It's not your work, it's mine. And furthermore, the satire was written specifically to mock you and your fellow idiots, Wood and Fetzer for not even knowing what Newton;s third law was until I told you. And the reference to "distortion" is a bit rich.
If I decide to post my own writing - as it was originally written, thank you - and you want to sue me for it,then go right ahead. I'll look forward to the court case. The only thing you've copyrighted is the art of how to be a complete idiot."
