    ONDON, May 9 (AP) — Give an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, the theory goes, and they will eventually produce the complete works of Shakespeare.

    Give six monkeys one computer for a month, and they will make a mess.

    Researchers at Plymouth University in England reported this week that monkeys left alone with a computer failed to produce a single word.

    “Another thing they were interested in was in defecating and urinating all over the keyboard,” Mr. Phillips added. [New York Times]
