I wonder if we might be able to expand that Infinite Monkey Theorem (or IMT as we often call it) to include not just works of literature, but also of the other arts.
I was thinking perhaps we could offer the chimps access to scissors, glue and various different coffee bags to see if, over time, they can reproduce say some Picasso or Monet in a collage medium.
That said, if we gave them various other materials, could we actually expand from the arts to the SCIENCES? with some toothpicks and string perhaps they could build us a full replica of the double helix or, dare i suggest it, the chemical make-up of coffee?
Call me crazy, but i like to think anything's possible...
