The Infinite Monkey (At The Keyboard)

Richard L. Kent, Esq., One Old Silverback Who Likes Bats Much Better than Bureaucrats

'The greatest evil is not now done... even in concentration camps and labor camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered ... in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice.’ - C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

Comment of the Month, Feb. 2009

I've seen combat in two wars, walked through Detroit after dark, spent two straight days in the presence of my mother-in-law, watched CBS News for a whole hour, and have heard Tiny Tim sing. All of that, and I never flinched.

This guy Obama scares the hell out of me.

§ It's said that an infinite number of monkeys typing away at keyboards will eventually reproduce the complete works of Shakespeare. § What they don't say is that the total amount of matter in the universe, if turned into monkeys and typewriters, powered by all energy present in the universe, to feed the monkeys in question, working for a hundred billion years, can't possibly create as much as the first act of Hamlet. § One Infinite Monkey--i.e., a human being--can write all of Shakespeare's works in the course of a single lifetime... if that Infinite Monkey happens to be Shakespeare. § You are an Infinite Monkey. So am I. Amphibians are we, half spirit and half worm: monkeys in the sense that we are Steve Gerber's “hairless apes, trapped in a world we never made”; infinite in the sense that we are also immortal and we shall still live when the sun is a black dwarf. § If you recognize, like this old silverback, that we are a duality and not a mere mechanical emptiness--you may find my writings amusing. If so, welcome. Stay a while. And feel free to comment. (But keep it clean.)
