    I’ve heard this quoted a lot, but I can’t find the original source.

      I’m surprised to find anything on the source of a joke, but this thread suggests it originated some time in the 1960s.

        My impression was that Desrtopa was making an atheist jest.

    (In the Recent Comments sidebar, this looked like:
    
    Nietzsche is dead God
    
    which is rather different!)

      I saw that, and it ruins the joke a bit. Sigh.
      
      FWIW, I really like Nietzsche.

        Prepend ‘God’ with hyphens. “Nietzsche is dead. --God” works with or without the line break.

  That wouldn’t be the kind of thing Buddha used to say.
