Are you planning on giving credit to any of the people who worked on this idea?

There is widespread additional research on this subject, and I'm surprised that the author did not choose to cite any of those websites, since they include Language Log and snowclones.org .
Since every one of the examples cited mirrors popular snowclones mentioned on those sites, it seems worthwhile to include the sources which the author used. Otherwised it gives the (disingenuous?) impression that the author is reporting his own work.
