Well it had to start somewhere...

True. After 3 seconds of googling the earliest record I can find is Nov 2004 on Urban Dictionary. Is this before or after it started becoming used in the Tech area?

Cos, you might be able to claim royalties or something...

It wasn't my creation. Maybe I don't want to know, or I may have to pay royalties...

Apparently I don't get out as much as you.

We have a saying on the jobsite "it ain't rocket surgery" it is just diving and basic labor in most cases, for myself the reason I support increasing legislation and regulatory control is that at a supervisory level there is much more involved from knowing how to respond to diving casualties to knowing how to orginize a salvage operations.

Damn...I thought I invented rocket surgery. Must be a meme that's easy to arrive at.

Rocket surgery is when the maintenance guys pull the missile out of the hole to do majory fixes and have to swap rockets.
Well, as a Missile Launch officer that's what it was, anyway.
Just me and the button, and my buddy, down in a hole, saving the world, one nuke at a time!
