If you placed an infinite number of chimpanzees at an infinite number of
typewriters, would they eventually write all the great books?
Yes... and all the crappy ones, too.

Anybody who thinks that an infinite number of chimpanzees at work on
an infinite number of typewriters would NOT write all the great books
doesn't understand the concept of infinity.
In fact, all the aforementioned infinite number of chimpanzees would
need is an equal number of typewriters as there are chimps and
sufficient time to write the length of the longest book in the great
books.
Now, if one were to posit a million chimps/generation and typewriters
and 6000 years....
