Infinite Monkey

Ok.. Here's the deal. It been pretty difficult, to say the least, to keep my blog from gathering internet dust.. so I've come across what may be the interim solution.. This is thanks to what is known as the Infinite Monkey Theorem..

Simply put, it states - A monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard will almost surely eventually type every book in France's Bibliothèque nationale de France (National Library). Note that almost surely is being used in a precise mathematical sense here. In the restatement of the theorem most popular among English speakers, the monkeys eventually type out the collected works of William Shakespeare. (Thanks Wiki..)

The phrase almost surely is a subtle, precise way to say that something is certain except for cases that almost never happen, though still possible. The concept usually comes into play in questions that involve infinite time or infinitesimal space.

So here's what I am going to do. Given that this is what a monkey can accomplish, I am going to assume that Man can do it more efficiently. I am going to start hitting my keys randomly. I plan to achieve this by tactically placing my keyboard just beneath the legs of my baby girl and when she kicks it (I'm almost certain at this point that it is random), the keys get pressed.

I'll post whatever comes up now and then.. and who knows, by some matter of chance, we may actually have a poem or something..

In the meanwhile, I'll try to keep this site a little more current for the 2 people who actually read this site.. or should I say re-read this site..

Happy holidays!
