Monkey Typing UpdateWhen we last left our brilliant typing monkey community, they could scarcely put two letters together. Now they’re boldly stringing words together. Yes, I just checked back with the Monkey Shakespeare Simulator (infinite monkeys typing on infinite typewriters will eventually create the complete works of Shakespeare) and we’re up to 15 characters. Here’s where it stands: 15 letters from “Pericles” after 958,399,000,000,000,000,000 monkey-years. The text the monkeys produced: “[Enter GOWER.] ?2IDzPN9sq6V ;e’?nGI3&?3 La”“0 ...” matched “[Enter GOWER.] [Before the palace of Antioch.] To sing a song that old was sung, From ashes ancient Gower is come; Assuming man’s infirmities, To glad your ear, and please your eyes.” Okay, they’ve got a ways to go, but what do you expect for only 958,399,000,000,000,000,000 monkey-years of work?

During November it's all about me writing a novel. Sometimes it's about whalewatching. You know, and then there's other stuff.
