Talk:Dunbar's number
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I think this page needs to be deleted or renamed. It is clear that the word "monkeysphere" is not a technical term at all, and was in fact coined by David Wong for an internet humor article.

does anyone know who first coined the term? I could not find anything on Google. --Rck 20:36, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
- I've been linked to this before, but that's the best I can do. The Monkeysphere is an intriguing construct from the available data, and I talk like this in real life too, though it raises a number of objections both due to unraised questions and my outdated religious beliefs. --Kizor 15:33, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's the one I cited as the "Humorous Introduction"; it's rather funny. Ok, so we dont know yet who came up with this, alright. I can live with that for the moment.

- The first Googled USENET use of the term is in July 2004, and it links to the humorous article. --Kizor 03:59, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
