How come he got the name Professor Bitcorn?

Obviously it's a derisive putdown but it's unclear where it first appeared.

I seemed to be used almost immediately both here at Bitcointalk and at Reddit and quickly became a meme of sorts, spawning countdown-to-$10 websites, a spoof Twitter account and getting prominent mention in his Wikipedia entry.

Like many memes the actual creator remains obscure.

Anyone have more info?

The good prof. came up with the meme, he called it "bitcorn" during the hearings.
