The Monkey Shakespeare Simulator is just fantastic:

“Every time you display this page, you are automatically participating in the Monkey Shakespeare project. Your computer is put to work to simulate a number of monkeys typing randomly on typewriters, and each page typed is checked against every play Shakespeare ever wrote!”

The current record is the first 6 letters from “King John”. So far, those monkeys have been typing away all day weekend, and frankly, I’m getting tired. I’m running out of bananas, and you can’t move in the office for whooping primates. And the best they have come up with to date is a pathetic four letters from Titus Andronicus. Pete managed to beat my monkeys in a few short hours by getting to five letters. Grr…

Maybe I should set them an easier challenge. I wonder how long it would take them to write something off Looking For-Best Of David Hasselhoff. Hot Shot City, perhaps.
