If you put a thousand monkeys...
in front of a thousand keyboards, after some amount of time, eventually one of them would post a positive Hillary Clinton thread.

It's true!

That's your MonkeyFunk Fact of the day!

1. They tried that once you know.
But the monkeys just kept hitting the S key over and over again. Then they pissed on the keyboards.
http://www.arn.org/docs2/news/monkeysandtypewriters051103.htm

"At first, said researcher Mike Phillips, “the lead male got a stone and started bashing the hell out of it.

“Another thing they were interested in was in defecating and urinating all over the keyboard,” added Phillips, who runs the university's Institute of Digital Arts and Technologies.

Eventually, monkeys Elmo, Gum, Heather, Holly, Mistletoe and Rowan produced five pages of text, composed primarily of the letter S. Later, the letters A, J, L and M crept in — not quite literature."
:rofl:

They have the same problem over at free republic... so far they haven't found a solution.

6. Well, then, one in a thousand monkeys is smarter than some DUers.
:rofl:

Or else 999 monkeys are on the RNC payroll.
