Even if the internet hasn't proven that old saying wrong, this random word generator has:
http://hamete.org/babel/index_en.html
Lots of random word-like sequences, but nothing approaching Hamlet, let alone coherency. It really makes me appreciate the complexities of language, grammar and syntax. Although our language would be much richer if we included words like "avfdhgoot," "hgmff" and "meavx." I intend to start introducing those into my everyday conversation. If mcjob made it into the dictionary, I'm sure I can start a new fad. I'm not sure how many times you need to click the Library of Babel button before it produces actual sentences. Exactly how improbable is the structure of Hamlet anyway? Shouldn't you get "Act one scene one Elsinore Castle Denmark" at least once out every trillion clicks? Maybe chimpanzees and computer programs share an innate hatred of the works of William Shakespeare? Someone should finally train a chimp to type out Hamlet, just to resolve this deeply pressing issue. Preferably an actual chimp, and not one of those Zeebots. Geez, who in the world looks at a poo-flinging primate and says, "That's a nice chimp, but you know what would be cooler? If we gave it ballistic weaponry and onboard tactical AIs. That would be a great use of government funding!"
Dr. Wilde, that's who.
I don't know what's going to happen to those cyborg chimps after the whole ice cream truck fiasco. Nobody wants an ape that's been trained to shoot people. I don't think they can remove enough of the weaponry to make the chimps safe in zoos. Where do you send crazy weaponized/radioactive/superpowered apes anyway? None of the news articles are saying where they're keeping the Zeebots, mostly because they don't want Dr. Wilde breaking them out. But are you allowed to keep them in a pound? A research facility? A zoo? A veterinary lab? Dr. Wilde is the only one I can think of who would actually want to live with those chimpanzees, and he's still on the most wanted list. Who can provide a safe, loving and law-abiding home to three deadly gun-toting cyborg chimpanzees?
