Not Monkey Doo. That's disgusting. Monkey DO.
*ahem*. So I was trying to find out how to spell "hundredth" because I thought "gee, that dth at the end of hundredth...is that really how to spell it?" Don't ask me why I thought that. I just did. Anyway, I googled "hundredth", confirm that it IS "hundredth" and then notice something: there's a lot about "Hundredth Monkey". So I clicked on the first site and read about it. The first part seemes alright but the conclusion and later assertions of this "phenomenon" seemed specious at best. Clicked on another site (suitably named skepdic) and had my doubts confirmed. It's an interesting story nonetheless, though the implied telepathy is really silly.
So now you know what the Hundredth Monkey phenomenon is (if you read those links). Aren't you glad?

I wonder if the Hundredth Monkey phenomenon applies to humans?

I think that's the implication. Or maybe it only applies to those born under the sign/year of the monkey.
