As long as we are counting, we should count Fredrik Dahl, 
who I believe did it first, for a total of four. :-)

This gives duplicate dice, but unless I'm mistaken it
doesn't do stratified sampling (perfect distribution
of rolls at every depth).  I'm not sure whether Joseph
was saying he had duplicate dice, or stratified sampling,
or both.
