This raises so many questions. You get a thousand monkeys in front of a typewriter, sure, you get Shakespeare in M(x)-2^b years, where M is number of monkeys, x is the number of words in the desired play, and b is the quantity of bananas provided per monkey, per day.

Which, duh, everyone knows that. But what happens when you throw the monkey copy editor in? Everything changes. Drastically. "Mistakes" vanish, the text emerges from the desk, clean and lyrical, maybe even faster than the original (though who's to say the resourceful bard didn't have a MCE or two at his disposal). Probably time for a test. Any grant-writers in the house?

About 3-4 years ago I bought her a Gami Taro monkey and she loved it... it has since been lost and now I need to find it... where is this GomiTaroLand that you speak of?? I'm in New York now and having trouble finding this monkey!! Please help!
