I'm only going to say this one more time. It's an infinite number of monkeys, on an infinite number of typewriters will eventually type all the great works of Shakespear.

Well, instead of eventually, say an infinite amount of time. FAPP, it will never happen.

But an infinite amount of time is what it takes with one monkey. (An infinitely long-lived one, that is.)

Sorry to disagree with you, but an infinite amount of monkeys will produce all of the works ever written by man or will be written by man(assuming a finite man) in the time it takes to type the longest tome.
