We’ve been getting hits to my Demetri Martin better than Dane Cook post with the keyword ’stolen joke’ so I thought I’d check it out. Lo and behold!

While I think this it’s possible this is a case of what Malcolm Gladwell wrote about earlier this year (the “phenomenon of simultaneous discovery—what science historians call “multiples””), I’m not inclined to give Dane Cook the benefit of the doubt. That’s what he gets for those “There’s only one OCTOBER” commercials in ‘07. I’ll never forgive him.
