A thousand monkeys

May 17th 2007 in All, Welcome

Welcome to the blog. What is a thousand monkeys? It is based on the infinite monkey theorem, which basically says, that given enough time, a chimpanzee typing at random will almost surely type out a copy of one of Shakespeare’s plays. The idea of a thousand monkeys comes from The Simpsons episode Last Exit to Springfield. Mr. Burns has his own room with 1000 monkeys at typewriters, one of which he chastises for mistyping a word in the opening sentence of A Tale of Two Cities. I chose the theme because I think people take blogs too seriously. Oh, have you read so and so’s blog today? They have spewed golden nuggets of hyper-calvinist dispensational premillennialist traducianist truth! So I am not pretentious enough to think that what I have to say is actually that interesting to the masses. So in that vein, I hope to avoid much of my own writing and post a lot of quotes. After all, I think a thousand monkeys at a thousand typewriters could probably come up with something more interesting then me on my own. Enjoy.
