You've hit the nail on the head right there. Eventually being the key word. Those theoretical monkeys would eventually write Hamlet. It's a question of probability. What they're typing is totally random but there has to be a finite (but mind bogglingly small) probability that any randomly chosen sequence of 1million (or whatever it is) characters will be "Hamlet". If you started the monkeys off today, Hamlet might turn up tomorrow or only in a million years (assuming the monkeys and their offspring can be arsed to continue for that long).
So when they cant be arsed, do you reccomend spanking your monkey?
