A thousand monkeys on a keyboard or something like that right? Said in jest.

"Your threads suck so badly a thousand monkeys on a keyboard could make it."

Something like that right?

Defeats the purpose of the experiment. In theory, the best thread ever could be created by a monkey and a typewriter.


Or Supah


But there isn't much of a difference there..

I know but I was just responding to what Kmarion said, I understand the concept but I lack of the physical energy to debate it but it is interesting.

Here are a few different blogs named after the concept. (another forum of it is that 1000 monkeys at 1000 typewriters will eventually type Shakespeare)
http://1000monkeys.com/
http://archermonkey.blogspot.com/
http://1000monkeys.wordpress.com/
http://www.tenthousandmonkeys.com/

An article on software that can allegedly write stories that uses the chiche
http://digg.com/software/Forget_1000_mo … hakespeare

An ipod commercial that I don't really get, but seems to have something to do with the idea

A windows live entry quoting the idea
http://drsql.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!8 … =223856567
It has often been said that a thousand monkeys with a thousand typewriters given enough time would stumble upon the greatest works in literature.
Article on ESPN

Another article... to lazy to figure out what its going on about... but I saw the words DMR?
http://factoryjoe.com/blog/2006/02/06/t … 0-monkeys/

There was actually a simpsons episode I cant/am to lazy to find where it showed a room full of monkeys smoking, chained to typewriters.

Yahoo answers, 1000 monkeys joke about Obama
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index … 034AA1PzaW

Those are just a few, to lazy to keep doing this, and not really worth it.

lol, I know but all in fun

Besides, hard to provide just ONE example that something is cliche... Doesn't really fit with the definition.
