Million Monkeys type Shakespeare Theory

No they wouldn't! This quaint belief could easily have been exposed by anyone taking the time to compare large numbers. But I never did.  

“There’s a story that if you gave a million monkeys typewriters and set them to work, they’d eventually come up with the complete works of Shakespeare. Thanks to the Internet, we now know this isn’t true.”—Ian HartMillion Monkey Shakespeare Theory Proved Wrong in Global Experiment — Rick Wilkes - Thrivingnow.com
Hoaxes are exposed every day but still I find myself quoting garbage I once thought true. I am always surprised by the unchallenged ideas I believe are true. Internet allows me to clean up all these incorrect ideas I carried most of my life. Steve.
