Full Version: There is a saying to the effect that if an infinite amount of monkeys pounded on a infinite...
...amount of typewriters, they would eventually produce the complete works of Shakespeare. This is not true. They would produce Wikipedia.

<tober> I actually did the math once, and it's improbable that a million monkeys with a million typewriters (one typewriter per monkey) that all type at the rate of a good typist 24/365 would ever produce the collected works of shakespeare before the heat death of the universe. So there.

I've never seen anyone else post "Lol i don't even remember doign that i must have been really cool and on drugs."
Although to be fair, I've never seen Feernie do it either.

You only need infinite time OR infinite monkeys. Infinite Monkeys would produce the works of shakespeare as soon as one could finish typing the length of them, and one monkey could do it with infinite time.

I don't think I've ever said I can't remember doing things heh.
GJ on being a judgemental prick though.
EDIT: By the way, I haven't been high and in contact with the internet in like 2 months. Way to dwell.

I've never claimed not to remember nor do I think it's cool. So, babydoll, you haven't seen me do it either.
I don't care if you say Wikipedia sucks, everybody uses it.

Monkeys don't live forever, so he'd likely just die.
