pointless thought
For days this thought has run through my head: show me a room of truly intelligent programmers, and I'll show you a room (mostly full, and I debated myself on percentage here) of people whose deepest desire is to produce a great work of literature. You think they're all just computer nerds, but a surprising number of them truly care about our literary canon. Really.
what's this nonsense?

This might be cruel but for some reason the Infinite Monkey Theorem popped into my head immediately. Well not the actual theorem itself but the popular culture version of it...
"It is said that if you place a million monkeys in front, of a million keyboards, they will eventually produce the works of Shakespeare."
The actual theorem is quite different by the way and pretty interesting :)
