    We are IN the timeline where a monkey wrote Shakespeare. That monkey was Shakespeare.

        Not really, an almost infinite number of non-shakespeare monkeys came before him and also didn’t happen to write the entire works of shakespeare.

      Yeah, it’s weird how nobody talks about the trillions of trillions of plays Shakespeare wrote that are complete gibberish.

      Did you know a monkey can write Shakespeare’s work using this simple trick (millions of years of evolution)?

      Unless you think it was a different monkey because someone without noble blood couldn’t possibly write good.
