There are some who say that the Internet is absolute proof that
thousands of chimps typing away will NOT eventually create great novels

There's a great story I like about James A. Mitchener.
The story goes that he was in grade school and was late one day. The teacher
told him that the next day he would have to show up with a note from his
mother.
Not to be undone, the story goes that Mitchener wrote his own note and the
next day handed it to the teacher.
She began to read,
"In the beginning of it all, dinosaurs roamed the earth and there was an
upheaval of fire upon the land"
"James", she said, .........is this going to be a long story?"
