If an infinite number of monkeys typing for eternity would eventually create the entire works of Shakespeare, how many monkeys would it take, and how long would it take them, to create Survey Central?

They could never do it at random! If mandy was in charge of her monkey minions then they may just manage it so long as Bill was there as her advisor (and didn't mind mandy eating him when she was done!)

It would take 42 monkeys, seven and a half million years.

They could never do it. Survey Central, and its users, are much more entertaining than Shakespeare.

the answer is obviously 7.4 times the square root of the length of each monkey's tail

lol Maybe you haven't seen her gearbuttedness for a while? Or maybe everything I paint is secretly or subconsciously in homage to her. At least you didn't say they look like Phi.  * wink *

Apologies if you have already answered this but why do you like monkeys so much?

hmmmmm
Good question.

I don't really. I just like to infect others with strange ideas...like Monkeee mania
then I sit back and watch it spread. It's mind control.

Clever gurl, aren't I? Look at all my followers. Mind you, I love the way monkeeeees have brought me closer to some very incredible, fascinating, beautiful, wonderful people. Which actually makes me love monkeeeees. It all comes full circle. It's good for us all. Monkeeeeeee love...spread the word.

Thanks, they're both parts of much much larger murals. Yep, Gearbox is the cat- her face is kind of similar to that of the first of those two monkeys, sort of. Phi's face is more similar to the second.  * wink *
