I'm a little envious of that reality, as stink badger is a solid go to insult that I don't think could ever catch on here.

So do you think infinite monkeys using infinite typewriters over infinite time, wouldn't necessarily produce the works of Shakespeare? I've always been suspicious of that idea.

Assuming the monkeys hit the keys randomly, yeah that one is mathematically provable. But the typing has to be random else it goes from definite to just incredibly likely.
