Six Monkeys And An Old Saw

Posted by timothy on from the hard-to-disprove-the-infinite dept.

Sayten241 writes "They say that an infinite amount of monkeys typing at an infinite amount of typewriters will produce literature greater than Shakespeare. Well, it has been proven that six monkeys and one computer will produce a computer that has been smashed with a rock, urinated upon, and four pages worth of the letter 's.' The end of the article states that scientifically this does prove that monkeys are more complex than random generators."

    i would like to discuss your battle with AIDS. how goes the fight? whenever i talk about how much i hate the existence of gay people and am called a "homophobe" (what a faggy word - who's afraid of queers?), i say, "No way, one of my best friends is a fucking faggot." so anyway, how's the battle going?

    TAKE YOUR AZT!!!oh, quit being a nigger.
