   Actually, the Infinite Monkey Theorem says they’ll almost surely produce Shakespear, not absolutely surely. After all, it is possible they’d all just press “S” for all time.

   I made my own gobbledygooker, that uses sample text to produce a probability table to create skewed semi-random output: http://experiments.pgn674.com/gobbledygooker.html

   Actually, I’ve read that they experimented with monkeys and typewriters, and the monkeys didn’t type anything. They just beat up the typewriters, etc.

    pgn674: Great! It makes a news story look like the articles I try to read in the San Francisco Chronicle, now that they’ve laid off all their proof-readers and copy editors.
