About my design
by Krakaboom   
An infinite number of monkeys typing randomly for an infinite amount of time will eventually produce the works of Shakespeare.

Wear this tee and have intellectual discussions about:
1. The theory
2. Shakespeare
3. Monkeys

For super large version, see here!

Love your design.
-The following is not a comment on your design - it's just for amusement.-
In the real world: (Wikipedia)
"In 2003, lecturers and students from the University of Plymouth MediaLab Arts course used a £2,000 grant from the Arts Council to study the literary output of real monkeys. They left a computer keyboard in the enclosure of six Celebes Crested Macaques in Paignton Zoo in Devon in England for a month, with a radio link to broadcast the results on a website. One researcher, Mike Phillips, defended the expenditure as being cheaper than reality TV and still "very stimulating and fascinating viewing".

Not only did the monkeys produce nothing but five pagesconsisting largely of the letter S, the lead male began by bashing the keyboard with a stone, and the monkeys continued by urinating and defecating on it."

bcrider: What's wrong with my thumbnail?! :)

Francesca: That's why they shoulda locked away the monkeys for infinity instead of one lousy month. And used waaaaay more than six of them!

Ellogoods
Ellogoods on Dec 20 '08
the most ridiculous concept I have ever heard of- makes absolutely no sense and the shirt seems to either slam the Bard or elevate the brain power of our simian friends. that being said, I love the design.
Neon Samurai
Neon Samurai on Dec 20 '08
You're missing the point ellogoods, the infinite monkey theorem is part of probability theory that states that if you were to get a monkey to randomly press keys on a typewriter for an infinite period of time the monkey will almost surely generate strings of random characters that would be an exact match for any given literary work. The theorem is usually used to display the danger of substituting infinity with a very large but finite number, and vice versa.

Krakaboom
   Krakaboom on Dec 20 '08
Thanks Josh! You're way more articulate than I could ever be!

Ellogoods, it's a concept based on an actual theory, so blame the mad scientists for coming up with it :) Glad you like the design though!

   bennyd302 on Dec 20 '08
coulda swore I commented and scored this....but apparently not. AMAZING..... love everything about it, really great representation of the theory...5
Ellogoods
Ellogoods on Dec 20 '08
The design is awesome and I gave it a 5 but a theory is just that, a theory and in the realm of theories out that I consider it to be a rather hollow one.
