I’ve forgotten and haven’t succeeded in locating it online. Does anyone recall the name / author of the SF short story about the scientist who sets a group of monkeys at some typewriters to see how long it takes them to produce a single actual word, much less a short phrase, only to discover that every single one immediately starts typing a famous extant piece of literature?

I am not one of those monkeys. As far as you know.

I personally like monkey #338,438’s “Monkey Boy and the Bananas of Doom!”

If they can change the typewriter ribbon, they’re doing pretty good.

Looks like the typing classes I took in junior and senior high school, except we were typing “The quick brown fox jumped over the sleeping dog.”
