The entire discussion is of course purely theoretical, because how would you get those monkeys to start typing?

actually, thinking a little more about it, if you had an INFINITE amount of monkeys, probability and quantum laws state that ONE of those monkeys MUST be typing the complete works of shakespeare, thus it would only take the time to type it. Conversely, if you had ONE monkey it would take an INFINITE amount of time.

yes, if you had an infinite amount of monkeys, one of them will come up with a work of shakespear, but the problem is that you'll never have an infinite amount of monkeys

Being tolerant is nothing more than simply understanding that the other party is too stupid to come to a better understanding anyway.
