Why is plagiarism a bad thing?
Plagiarism is when you copy someone else's written work, word for word and take the credit for the work. It's a way of cheating yourself of the knowledge (looking it up/research) and the challenge of putting it in your own words. It is also a form of theft and is illegal.
Note that if you reword slightly that, too, is plagiarism. Your written work must be in your own words. All quotations must be properly acknowledged.
Plagiarism is bad because it is dishonest and a form of theft. What's more students who plagiarize don't learn from it. The real challenge of 'looking things up' is to evaluate and synthesize ideas from two or, better still, several sources. Usually, the ability to do that shows an understanding of the issues, shows that the student has got to grips with the topic and has really tried to do the assignment.
People who eat other humans are called cannibals. There have been cases in history of this happening. One of the most famous is the Donner Party who got snowed in the mountains in the 1800's. This is not a good practice and it is illegal.
Why are igbos called ugly cannibals?
The term "ugly cannibals" is a derogatory stereotype that has been historically used to dehumanize the Igbo people, an ethnic group from Nigeria. This characterization stems from colonial narratives and misconceptions that portrayed African cultures in a negative light. Such labels are rooted in racism and ignorance, perpetuating harmful stereotypes that overlook the rich history, culture, and contributions of the Igbo people to society. It's essential to challenge these stereotypes and promote a more accurate understanding of diverse cultures.

Who was the first person to say eureka?
Archimedes, after discovering the principle of density. Most commonly associated with him having a bath, seeing the water flow out as he got in, then running round the town naked! This may be more legend than documented fact.
AnswerThe above is true...Check it out: "Eureka" is Greek for "I found it!"
A bit more...It would be more accurate to say Eureka means "I am in a state of having found it" but you get the ideaHe actually said the Greek words to vrika which means I found it but as the years have gone by and through many people saying it the two words became one resulting in eureka

Was Andrew Pixley really a murderer cannibal rapist and a kidnapper?
On August 6, 1964, Robert McAuliffe discovered the bodies of his two oldest daughters, Deborah 12, and Cynthia, 8, in their room here at the Worth Hotel. On the floor, barefoot and shirtless, lay a young drifter, Andrew Pixley. When police arrived, the 39-year-old McAuliffe, a judge from Illinois, had the drifter pinned to the floor. He screamed at the officer, "My God, this man killed my babies!" Deborah had been struck with a rock, Cynthia had been strangled. Both girls had been raped after they were killed. Pixley, 21, was arrested. Thirty to forty people crowed outside Pixley's jail cell and talked of lynching him. For his own safety, he was transferred to the Lander jail, 170 miles away. He was never tried for Cynthia's murder, but he pleaded guilty to the murder of Deborah. On December 19, 1965, Pixley was executed in the gas chamber at Rawlins.

Why does cannibalism still exist?
The jury is still out that cannibalism as a ritual practice exists at all - or ever existed (as opposed to that practiced under conditions of starvation or perversion). Although much folklore abounds, no credible sighting of cannibalism by anthropologists exist. As the late Scientific Americanwriter, Martin Gardner noted in his book Did Adam and Eve Have Navels? Debunking Pseudoscience, that the sceptical case for why cannibalism is rare to non-existent, and rather something which emerges from the imaginations of ethnographers and archaeologists, or is rooted in scurrilous insults hurled between ethnic groups which have antagonistic relationships. He cites a 1979 book by William Arens entitled The Man-Eating Myth opened up the issue with a strong argument in favour of the belief that cannibalism has never been prevalent in any culture. Gardner notes that claims of institutionalized cannibalism have always been made by enemies, never the tribes themselves, and have usually proven hard to follow up. He refrains from taking sides but admits "My sympathies at the moment are with Arens."

Why don't cannibals eat divorced women?
There is no logical or ethical basis for not eating divorced women. This notion is likely based on cultural stereotypes or misconceptions, rather than any meaningful reason.
