Yup,, scientific evidence now supports the theory that monkeys weren't responsible for Romeo and Juliet, meaning that the now infamous 'banana' scene is probably a hoax...

This is the work of an Italian narco-anarchic collective. Don't bother insulting them, they can't read English anyway.

ah, students. Not familiar with the meaning of the term 'infinite' then.

I can just picture them planning this down the pub.

"Let's prove monkeys can write shakespeare!"
"we need an infinite number of monkeys, typewriters and time though"
"heck, we've got 6 monkeys and a PC for a couple of weeks"
"good enough for me, let's see if we can get a grant. Whose round is it?"

looks that way. Part of my arrangement at work which lets me get off early 3 days a week to pick eddie up means an early start on thursday and friday.

well, I'm *at* work. Does that count?

I'm *still* up...does that count??

working on WN so we make the deadline. Doing a whole design remodel is a lot of work, but I think it'll be worth it...what do you think Dave? <wink>

yes - being at work counts - my hours are nine to five and if I'm in at eight, then I've an hour to sort out my social life before I get down to the nitty gritty!

I'm here too ... but only because the bus service can only get me here at either 0820 or 0920, and I start work at 0900. Gives me a chance to read the fforum.

Big Boss flew back from Spain yesterday (business trip) and bought lots of choccies back with him - so it's a chocolate fest down here in Farnham! Any takers?

It had to be chocolate because Madrid was closed for a saint's day yesterday and he could only shop at the airport - not that we're complaining...

I'm here.... does that count for anything?

Very odd about the monkeys, at any rate. Mind you, if they left a computer in a room with six humans for a couple of weeks I don't suppose that they would type the entire workf of shakespeare either.
