[extropy-chat] IP: "So five minutes ago" stolen

[Walter Purvis]

Stolen? Coined by a list member here? Please. The phrase "So five minutes
go" has been around for more than a decade -- it appeared in the 1992 Buffy
the Vampire Slayer movie, for instance, and I doubt it was original then -- 
and has been in widespread use for many years (I bet I've seen it in at
least a dozen articles in the past couple of years).
