Quote (BillB @ Sep. 26 2011,01:55) | someone had better tell KF: a few million monkeys randomly recreate shakespeare Quote | Today (2011-09-23) at 2:30 PST the monkeys successfully randomly recreated A Lover’s Complaint. This is the first time a work of Shakespeare has actually been randomly reproduced. Furthermore, this is the largest work ever randomly reproduced. It is one small step for a monkey, one giant leap for virtual primates everywhere. |

That reminds me of one of Bob Newhart's classic routines from his early 60's comedy albums:
Suppose they actually tried to duplicate Shakespeare with monkeys - someone would have to inspect the output, looking for something valid.
One inspector speaks to another: "Hey Bob, this looks like it might be something. 'To be or not to be. That is the ... gzortensplat'"
