DescriptionTo prove beyond doubt that the theory that a billion monkeys with typewriters would type the complete works of Shakespear (or something) is total bollocks.

In this program, your ZX81 plays the role of one monkey, and a very slow typing monkey at that. This computer monkey seems to like using the shift key a lot, judging by the disproportionate number of symbols it spews out.

Unfortunately, the resulting output is more like that of a very complex mathematical equation than anything remotely like English prose, so the experiment fails. Completely.
