There is a theory that you could produce all the works of
Shakespeare if you could arrange for an infinite number
of monkeys to bang on an infinite number of keyboards.
That's a pretty good description of the Internet, though,
and it hasn't happened yet...

  (I forget where I first heard that)


...and Bob Newhart had a related (and equally O.T.) joke:

 Imagine you're the guy who has to read through all
 the junk those monkeys produce.  It'd be a fairly
 stressfull job because every now and then you're
 bound to come across stuff like, "To be, or not to
 be; that is the gesorenplatz..."
