In fact, according to allmusic.com, pissant has it completely backwards about who ripped off who:
"Norwegian Wood," in addition to having a lovely melody and folk-based arrangement, was one of the first Lennon- McCartney songs to excite as much comment for the words as it did for the music. As with much of Rubber Soul, the mood was very much a folk-rock one, with the subtle ghost of Bob Dylan hovering over principal lyricist John Lennon's wordplay. Dylan, in fact, recorded a semi-parody of "Norwegian Wood," "Fourth Time Around," on Blonde on Blonde, which was okay but not as good as the tune it was gently mocking, and not as funny as it might have been intended to be."

Good find, Doc.

I was being funny. Dylan did 4th time Around to mock the Beatles.

...and neither is a classic, by any stretch.
