I'm Too Late...

In reference to my recent thoughts about putting my chickens to work, typing out the Complete Works of Shakespeare, to illustrate the principle of random chance, my friend "Sooty" wrote:

Ray, you've got a quality sense of humor! Too late though. Your experiment has already been done. Plymouth University in England put six monkeys in a room with a computer. After that time, there was 5 pages of text. But do you know how many words they managed? Zero. That's right. zero words. (Remembering that the word 'a' and 'I' need to have a space before and after the letter)

"Then there's the continuing cost of the laptops and their replacements." Ray Comfort. You got that right. In Plymouth's experiment, the "lead male got a stone and started bashing... [the computer]". Also "another thing they [the monkey's] were interested in was in defecating and urinating all over the keyboard."

I guess there is no other way to finish off this comment except for this highly thoughtful quote: "It is the plain truth that we are cousins of chimpanzees, somewhat more distant cousins of monkeys..." Professor Richard Dawkins
