Unless you meant that as a joke about the people using the internet
,the infinite monkey theorem holds true from a purely mathematical standpoint. IIRC, number of keystrokes that would likely be required to produce any book would be several orders of magnitude greater than the number of atoms in the universe, but when working with purely theoretical statistics those types of things don't matter. If the monkey truly had infinite time, and hit the keys completely randomly *eventually* he'd type anything you choose . As a matterof fact, eventually he would not only write Hamlet (the piece usually described), but eventually he'd reproduce every work Shakespeare wrote, in the order he wrote them, and then provide what would look like some interesting commentary behind them . He'd also eventually type outthis very discussion we're having ourselves too .Mike Gaskins Al G wrote: We used to call that the "infinite monkey theorem", which has since been diproved by the internet.
