And that's without the monkeys paying a survival price for hitting to many wrong keys. I can see it now, monkey heads exploding all over the universe creating new universes with typing monkeys trying to recreate a Shakespearean Sonnett.

In the beginning there were monkeys...

and then they exploded.

"I can see it now, monkey heads exploding all over the universe creating new universes with typing monkeys trying to recreate a Shakespearean Sonnett."

One of the points missed in this thought experiment is the power of the infinite.

We have people describing God as infinitely powerful, but they themselves do not appreciate what infinite means.

Infinite means unending. In an unending string of letters, numbers, characters and spaces, the works of Shakespeare do appear.

They appear because the string cannot end until they do; as well as every other combination and near-combination that can possibly come about.
