This phrase is used in many articles on Encyclopædia Dramatica in parody of the common usage on Wikipedia. This is similar to the usage of the phrase "at least 100 years ago" or simply "at least 100" which claims that contributors unsure of their facts will use this phrase to fill in the year of an event. An exaggerated example of this is "Jesus was born in Bethlehem at least 100 years ago." which may be true, but probably isn't.
