Miller will cop as soon as he hears this, I don’t consider him to be irresponsible in any way.
Damn this crap!
Assuming you mean me, I didn’t generalise.
If someone comes into a house, getting a tour to decide to see if he wants to buy it and then demands to be allowed to see inside the owners’ underwear drawer and is refused, that doesn’t mean that he has any right to say that he wasn’t “shown everything” in the tour. Similarly, I’m not generalising in saying that everything was publicly released. Everything required for a scientific study was publicly released. Certainly there was more that could have been released, but it wasn’t something that would be encompassed in the common definition of “everything” by the accepted norm.
It’s from here.

And I’m sure he’s not a plagiarist. We’ve had words before but I’ve never once doubted his honesty.
You think Mellivora wrote that joke?
Google “Bush Joke Brazillion” and you’ll see at least 4 sites that posted that joke prior to November 2005, I see late September 2005 as the time it started appearing.
Repeating a 2 year old joke isn’t plagiarism.
I got a great one guys.
A ham sandwich walks into a bar. The bar tender says “we don’t serve ham sandwiches here.”
The ham sandwich says “that’s fine. I’ll take a beer.”
What do I win?
Um, no. That’s the only place I had seen it before. I apologize if you feel that’s what I implied. I am surprised I remembered it from here that long ago. I once said something particularly nasty to Miller and I now try to be nice to him when the opportunity presents itself. That will learn me.
Hmm… while others may have innocently attributed the humor as a Miller original, all he did himself was just repeat an old joke, I think knowing full well many of us had heard it before. Doesn’t strike me as plagerism at all, just a humorous Have you heard/Remember this one?
Exactly.
Personally, I wouldn’t be surprised if the joke goes all the way back to the Korean War. Remember that Truman was frequently mocked in the press for being a bit dim (not to say he was, just saying it happened), and the conflict was a U.N. action, thus leading to the possibility of Brazilians being involved (not that I know one way or the other if they were).
FTR I was trying to be tongue in cheek with that. Repeating a joke does not require one to quote it’s source.
Carry on.
What’s black, white, red, and can’t get through a revolving door?
I’ll bite. What?
A nun with a javelin though her head.
I totally wrote that joke myself. Any prior appearance of it is the work of plagiarists. With time machines. Fucking time-traveling plagiarists, stealing my jokes. Bastards!
BTW, Omegaman, I’ve been meaning to say this for a while, but you’ve turned out to be a really good fit for the boards. I’m glad you stuck around.
Thanks, man. That really puts a shine on an otherwise crappy day. 
You’re sick. That’s what you are. 
What’s the best thing about having sex with twenty-six-year-olds?
