YEp. Like the day I realized Hitler and Roosevelt were inaugurated the same year and I wondered how far apart and found out they were sworn in 33 days apart from each other, and died within the same month 12 years later. It always killed me that autists turned up stuff like that, but if you have enough monkeys typing on enough keyboards sooner or later one of’ems gonna produce Shakespeare.

Or do we begin to understand typing monkeys? Oh, that made me think of MSM.

Statics can sure make that appear to be true.

However, it is not remotely practically true. The universe, as far as we have evidence, has not been in existence near long enough for that scenario to work.

Then there's the business of EVERY character typed would require that awesome amount of trial and error--as though the monkeys could tell the difference between error and non-error.

The maximum chaos is impinging on EVERY CHARACTER EVERY TIME that character is 'on stage.'

The usual quoting of that assertion seems to think that--OK, we have the first 5 characters; the first 5 sentences; the first 5 paragraphs all safe & sound so on to the next ones. Doesn't work that way.
