Hi all,

I found this :

here is the link : Infinite monkey theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

it make me smile. (enjoyed with banana )

what do you think?

From further down the page:

Gian-Carlo Rota wrote in a textbook on probability (unfinished when he died, but I hear there's a secret monkey society working to finish it):

If the monkey could type one keystroke every nanosecond, the expected waiting time until the monkey types out Hamlet is so long that the estimated age of the universe is insignificant by comparison ... this is not a practical method for writing plays.
A.

what make me smile is the fact that even if statisticaly they can do (write hamlet).

the probability that one of them READ it is 0.

it mean nothing to write if there is no one to read.

*sigh*.... stupid monkey

Wow! A reference to Rota? And from a Jayhawker?

BTW I didn't read Hamlet either but I think Gilligan's Island did a send-off of it....

Hey, If I were a monkey, I would surely say this:

Set to the music of Bizet's "Carmen"

Skipper made a great Polonius.

I think modestely that the important in any Written is to give the desire of reading.

and here is the core of the problem.

do we write for inciting other to read or just to sell the product.

the Monkey metaphore is realy interesting, because monkey are the only creature with too much similitude with human, and because they are (regarding some theory too intime with human ).

the question is :

why Monkey are always the caricature of stupidity?

perhaps in an other cartoon it will be an homer.

human reference scale change so often.

and no written is eternal.
