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'"
