The Infinite Monkey Theorem


The Infinite Monkey Theorem is the idea that sooner or later, a bunch of monkeys pounding on typewriters will luck into copying a complete book or play or whatever - say Shakespeare's Hamlet.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm for thinking I could spot the Keane dunderheads two for one with monkeys, and the monkeys would be far more likely to have any sort of literary output than they could manage on their own.
