The closing bit made me lol:

Also in 2003, Paignton Zoo carried out a practical test by putting a keyboard connected to a PC into the cage of six crested macaques. After a month the monkeys had produced five pages of the letter "S" and had broken the keyboard.

aah, he is cheating, the virtual monkeys have supervisors that check every nine characters they write. And they only need to get 9 characters right, then their work is accepted.

An unlimited number of monkeys should have monkeys in there that write the entire works, from beginning to end without a mistake, not 9 characters that happen to be somewhere in there.

How did he get to 9 characters anyways, and not 2; 2 is easier, and he would have been done already.
