    There is a thought experiment that says: given enough time, a million monkeys writing on typewriters will eventually produce the works of Shakespeare.

    This thought experiment is used to argue for and against a lot of things, often times in arguments surrounding evolution.

    But the OP just explained that we are the evolved monkeys and we produced Shakespeare.

    And this makes me think that whoever imagined the thought experiment, knew about this double meaning from the start.
