The monkeys and typewriters business seems to be very commonly
misunderstood. The point is that the 1000 monkeys with 1000 typewriters
would take _far_ longer than the age of the universe ever to replicate,
say, a line of Shakespeare. Come to think of it, that can't be too far from
the odds that a libertarian will get something right.
