It is said that if you get a million monkeys in a room for a million years with a million typewriters, all of them randomly typing 24/7, eventually one of them will randomly type out the text for "War and Peace".

I think it's pretty amazing that a monkey would randomly type out "War and Peace" given enough time. It would even amazing to me even if a monkey was to type out just one sentence from "War and Peace" over a million years - never mind the entire novel.

That just seems rather incredible.

On another note, get a million monkeys in a room with a million pianos for a million years and I guess it's possible for one of them to randomly play a measure or two from a Beethoven sonata.

I still don’t know what Garth Brooks has to do with this.
