the
finite monkeys
theorem is a
corollary to the
infinite monkeys theorem which states that if you have a
finite number of
monkeys in a room with a
finite number of
typewriters, after a
finite amount of time, the room will
smell awful and you'll have a lot of pieces of paper that look like this:

in other words.. a finite number of monkeys and a finite amount of time is basically useless, as far as producing great works of literature are concerned.
