To go even more off topic, I remember Trunk Monkey commercials. Also, I remember a web site whose intentions was to simulate monkeys typing Shakespeare. They had set up a distributed system where you could contribute your computer to providing random characters, which they compared to a selected set of Shakespeare's plays. Just before the site disappeared (or I lost track of it), they had received strings representing the first maybe 15 or 20 characters of several plays.
