    We are IN the timeline where a monkey wrote Shakespeare. That monkey was Shakespeare.

      Yeah, it’s weird how nobody talks about the trillions of trillions of plays Shakespeare wrote that are complete gibberish.

      Did you know a monkey can write Shakespeare’s work using this simple trick (millions of years of evolution)?

      Unless you think it was a different monkey because someone without noble blood couldn’t possibly write good.

    I have an infinite number of rooms, so I’m putting two monkeys in each room with two typewriters.

    Now I can do it in half the time.

      Yeah, but since an infinite number of monkeys are working on it already, it will be just one copy for each of the infinite number of monkeys.

      Two new monkeys show up, and even though the infinite rooms and infinite typewriters are already occupied, you can make room for them by making all of the monkeys move over one room, and putting the new monkeys in that newly vacant room with the newly available typewriters.

    As an IT guy, there will always be a special place in my heart for the awesome person who wrote a protocol suite for this use case (it is a lot of fun to read):
