What made Skinner chose the name 'Skinner?"

1. Well, he used to have Principle Skinner as his avatar.

But Matt Groening or somebody objected to that, so he had to change it.

I'm guessing he likes the character of Principle Skinner...

2. There once was a man name of Skinner ...

Who took a fail lass out to dinner.
At a quarter past nine,
They sat down to dine.

5. My theory

Is that we are a grand psychological experiment and our computer screens are our individual Skinner boxes.
That's my narrative and I'm stickin' to it.

8. Basically, we're all in the Matrix.

Is Skinner real, or a figment of our imagination? Science has no concrete answer.
