A must read!

"Infinite monkeys typing on infinite typewriters might be able to produce Shakespeare, but they could never produce something like this!"

I was a little doubtful after reading the product description, but the customer reviews convinced me I really should read this book. This is one thing I will admit Amazon is good for.

I hear that it reads like it was written by a computer, though.

Infinite Monkeys

Actually, one of the programmers I've worked with used to be an anthropologist, and she assures me that an infinite number of monkeys at an infinite number of typewriters would quickly result in an infinite number of disassembled typewriters. 8-)

I heard about this book, just didn't know what it's called. It's quite nifty!

I like that entire page, it's very witty.
