Which was in turn trying to copy Second Life, which was in turn trying to copy Furcadia.

Everything's a copy of a copy of a copy.

Indeed. Those bastards at Microsoft Research, just few weeks after phenomenal success of Little Big Planet, traveled back couple of years in time ( http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/03/techfest_demo_b.html ) and copied all of it into Kodu.
