This technique is kinda occured but it works and I've tried it out for couple of days know and it's kinda cool. How it works? Easily! These days most starting webmasters are hearing that if you want to get google indexed you fast you should Digg your website. And here you can be the bastard! I made a blogwebsite that only contains funny stories etc but because of lazyness I never wanted to write those story's myself. So I started hanging around on Digg but I also noticed that Google liked my website for some reason because if I made a new post it was indexed in an hour or so. So while watching Digg, I came accros some funny things and when watching their publish date it was sometimes less then 30 minutes. So I googled their content and saw it wasn't indexed yet. Now, for this technique you will also need some luck etc but just make sure google bot will find your website before his. Because you can just copy the content of this Digged website and place it on your website and with some luck, google will index your website before his and his content will be penalized because it isn't unique anymore. So this was my 2 cents on how to steal unique content and claim it as your own.
As far as I read in the google rater guidelines, there is no duplicate content on jokes, lyrics,yellow pages etc. Don't know though how G sorts out these kind of sites.
You are wasting you time unfortunately, when content was indexed has absolutely nothing to do with anything when it comes to what's duplicate content or not.
Tom- This is actually a pretty clever idea. I wonder how it would work if you were watching certain tags and when they showed up, you scraped the site and posted. Question: Does anyone know how closely Goog scans the bookmarking sites and indexes from them? I've never seen anything on this. Cheers!
