It has been posited that if an infinite number of monkeys sit at an    infinite number of typewriters and randomly press keys, they will    eventually produce the complete works of Shakespeare [1] [2].  But if    such a feat is accomplished, how would anybody be able to know?  And    what if the monkey has flawlessly translated Shakespeare's works into    Esperanto?  How could one build a system that obtains these works    while addressing the basic needs of monkeys, such as sleep and food?    Nobody has addressed the practical implications of these important    questions [3]. 9:26:38 PM
