I haven't started the book yet, but I saw the picture of the Shakespeare clones and it begged the question: Would an infinite number of Shakespeares at an infinite number of typewriters for an infinite length of time produce the complete works of Monkey, Tripitaka?

H'mmm. The idea of either cloning Shakespeare or bringing him to our time by some other method (e.g. time travel, necromancy) has already cropped up in SF & Fantasy several times before this, but I don't recall ever seeing that question asked before...

Question is, Grasshopper, did Monkey ever actually write?
