It's similar to "Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle."  It doesn't really 
"mean" anything, it is simply the description of a foolish event or 
condition used to indicate that I'm being foolish myself.  How things 
like this catch on and spread is beyond me, much like slang words that 
seem to make no sense.

Of course, "I'll be a monkey's uncle" is synonymous with silly because 
of the Scopes Monkey Trial, which happened about 20 miles up the road 
from me, but that's for another mailing list...
