We've heard that if one had an infinite number of monkeys, and an infinite
number of typewriters, they would eventually (re)produce all of Shakespeare,
and all of the (other) great works of literature, including ones that
haven't been written yet, or postulated works, such as a Shakespearean play
better than Hamlet. One could hope that they would also complete all that
system documentation.... But what do you get when you give an infinite
number of monkeys an infinite number of workstations?
An infinite number of service calls. Which explains many of the service
calls we have received.
Bob Newhart pointed out that you would need someone to monitor their output,
with a lot of close calls. "To be, or not to be, that is the gzorgenplat".
Isn't USENET close enough to an infinite number of monkeys? It must not be,
because it sure isn't Shakespeare.
