   As far as researchers have been able to find out - the originator of   
   this phrase is none other than Margaret Thatcher. She was elected   
   prime minister on may 4, 1979, and her party had large banners that   
   read "may the fourth be with you, Maggie. Congratulations" to   
   celebrate. So, a bit older than rassm :)
