Yep, you read it correct. I'd love to give you a clear cut answer regarding the origin of the name, but the story has survived so many iterations I don't even know where to begin.
I'm pretty sure it started with a catch phrase in Middle School. The name loosely stayed with me until "Bruce Almighty" starring Jim Carrey helped to solidify the humor of the name with the butt-monkey scene. At least, that's one way I remember it.
However, quite a few years passed between The Righteous Monkey's birth, and his reprisal a la "Bruce Almighty." I also vaguely recall coming up with the name from a Chinese/Buddhist myth about a monkey who escaped heaven (hey, it is a myth) and claimed himself the Emperor of the World. Anyway, that's a long story and I'm not going into that- you have the basic idea.
