Somebody or other (I don't care who, or why) wrote:

> }> This is why you need an *infinite* number of monkeys...

and many more wrote similar monkey-and-typewriter related stuff, etc,
etc, both in this newnews thread and elsewhere.

Can anybody tell me who FIRST wrote about monkeys & typewriters &
what the outcome would be?  Send me title, author, publication
place & date, page number by email, please.
