Eric Idle says Derrida got it from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
(The Holy Grail is going to Broadway as a musical. And Tim Curry's in it! Isn't that the Rocky Horror guy? Did you need another reason to go to New York?)
Dave Eggers (who wrote the whole thing and doesn't sound manic at all - maybe I misjudged A Heartbreaking Work etc.) describes the Pythons' early programmes as combining "startling erudition, theatrical precision, and utter madness". Now there's a standard to live up to.
