And I thought I Had Too Much Time on My Hands

Do not lament the hours you've lost watching Gilligan's Island re-runs.

Researchers in merry old England thought that the old saying that an infinite number of monkeys yuddah, yuddah would eventually produce Shakespeare should be put to the test. Now before you start drawing comparisons to ESPN.com's on-going tests involving Peter Gammons, Tim Kurkjian, and Jayson Stark, I would remind you that this test was with actual lower primates.

Long story short, the tests were a failure: "They pressed a lot of S's." However, they did manage a better rotisserie team than the Mets currently field.

The notes to the study, which I am still not sure is a joke or not--maybe I am dense--, are here.
