I have been hearing a lot of talk about Guybrush and him saying "this is the
second biggest monkey head I have ever seen!" when looking at the head on
Monkey Island. What head did he see that was bigger? Does anyone know?
Look here to see what I mean:

help.

I expect they put that in the game just to tease you and make you
wonder what and where the biggest monkey head was.
It's kind of like the mystery of Shakespeare's second best bed.
In his will, Shakespeare left his second best bed to his wife,
but no one really knows what his first best bed was. It's a
mystery for the ages, as is perhaps the biggest monkey head.

I always thought it was just a throw away line, much like Simon the
Sorcerer when he says "It's a fine example of its kind" when asked to
examine some weird looking object. I took it as verbal humour only,
not anything related to the games.

FWIW, this was a standard joke on the old tv series Get Smart (a secret agent
parody if you're not familiar with it). When something with an unusual or
exaggerated aspect would show up, the lead character would often say 'That's
the second *-est * I've seen!".

Hahaaaa..

<sneaky secret agent accent>
"...You're right!.. I missed it by *that* much....."
<holds forefinger and thumb one millimetre apart>
"...Alright.. err.. would you believe... *this* much?...."
<holds forefinger and thumb two millimetres apart>
"...No?.. err.. well.. would you believe... *this* much?...."
<holds forefinger and thumb one inch apart>
"...No?.. errrr......"

Ahh.., they must have used the same jokes on that show in every single episode,
but I still thought it was funny.. hehe.

I think it could be meant in a different way, like: It's the second time I see
the biggest monkey head. So it is the second biggest monkey head I see.

The theory concerning the global conspiracy against mankind has been
enforced by "jake" <westsi...@hotmail.com>, and thus:

easy, when you find what is the secret of Monkey Island, you find the
answer :)

This is an old joke, if anyone played Commander Keen 4, the Dopefish
description say "the second dumbest creature in the universe"
