But it's not about "a universe full of monkeys", it's about Infinite monkeys. Significantly more.

  For some values of universe anyway.

  Infinite monkeys would also produce infinite crap. Infinity means everything is going to happen.

    As in poop or as in Dan Brown novels?
    • rthomas6 12y ago
      Both! On a related note, if you had infinite Dan Browns typing on typewriters, you would end up with infinite novels that all follow the same formula.

  Actually it's about a single monkey typing for an infinite amount of time. Which is the best thing you can hope for, since you can't really get an infinite amount of monkeys.
  • huxley 12y ago
    You may have difficulty blocking out an infinite amount of time for the task. And even if somehow you did, that single monkey won't do as they have trouble focusing on a task and tend to die after non-infinite time periods. So unless we can bridge the "infinite monkey problem" and the concomitant "infinite monkey poop problem", I'm afraid monkey Hamlet shall stay unwrit.
