#19. Re the Rev Al Sharpton quote. The author was talking about “monkeys” but you are close enough to the species (”Sharpie Conartitus Hatemongerous”)
How long before the type this:
“Let’s kill all the lawyers”
Probably correct so they could not type Hamlet or any other book.
does the 36 keys mentioned take into account spaces?
Just asking because the really astronomical number you provided needs to be a little bit bigger. :)
Only way to get the odds down is super intelligent monkeys. And we know that leads to no good.

Yeah, but just think of the boom in typewriter production, sales, marketing, repairs... not to mention jobs! Whole countries would be engaged!

Please keep in mind that this whole monkeys typing Shakespeare was used as an example to justify evolution. Lightening striking a tide pool (hot dilute chemicals) you would eventually get life started. Then entered the monkeys with typewriters. So if you could get Shakespeare you can get life started.
my memory fades with time but if you took the number of DNA strands and the number of DNA combination the number of also quite large.
I believe we have disproved the monkeys with typewriters as an impossibility. And like the random lightening strikes is also an impossibility.
Yeah that’s about as far as you can go with this.
>> “Please keep in mind that this whole monkeys typing Shakespeare was used as an example to justify evolution....I believe we have disproved the monkeys with typewriters as an impossibility. <<
Random typing by monkeys doesn’t take into account evolutionary selection on the basis of fitness for survival, though — natural selection. The monkeys wouldn’t be starting from scratch each time one started to type. Something more comparable would be a million monkeys typing, then as soon as they produce the first word of the play, they’d continue typing at random until the next word is produced, and so on.
(The analogy still doesn’t hold, though, because natural selection doesn’t have a goal such as producing a particular play.)
You're wrong, see my tag line........
Your tagline was obviously an inspiration to me.
