"I believe the saying that an infinite number of monkeys, with an infinite number of typewriters, can in fact recreate any piece of literature (Bible, Shakespeare, Mark Twain, Stephen King, etc.)."I don't.
The concept of thought, translated into/by language, requires intelligence that monkeys (and sometimes even men ... /8^) seem to lack.

It isn't that monkeys would recreate stuff because they are smart enough to come up with it or that they would even understand it, it's that one day some monkey would RANDOMLY type out those words (of whatever text) in the exact order.
