The height of your career. . .

Just chatting with my brother today, and in the midst of talking about humorous comments on the Internet:

(9:08:11 PM) Christian: how can people be so clever
(9:08:11 PM) Christian: lol
(9:09:08 PM) Chris: monkeys, shakespeare
(9:09:19 PM) Christian: yo that's b******* [ed.- redacted]
(9:09:30 PM) Christian: monkeys could never type shakespeare

(9:09:47 PM) Chris: it's just a matter of time O_O
(9:10:04 PM) Chris: i wish someone would fund that as empirical research
(9:10:12 PM) Chris: like set up a permanent trust for it
(9:10:23 PM) Chris: i'd be the lawyer for that

(9:10:35 PM) Christian: haha

And then. . . I really thought about it.  I WOULD love to be the lawyer to set up a self-perpetuating trust funding the collection of empirical data on monkeys trying to write Shakespeare.  If only I had the time to do the math, but I'll write some scratch notes:

"n" monkeys @ $"A" each.  (average lifespan of "a" years)

"n" typewriters @ $"B" each. (average lifetime of "b" years)

"x" sq. ft. of office space @ $"C", where "x = y*n". ("y" = sq. ft./monkey)

"r" = interest rate needed to self-perpetuate, where "r = i + c" ("i" = inflation, "c" = interest needed to recoup "n($A+$B) + x*$C")

I'll think about this more later. . . but man, I think after I did that, I could probably end my legal career.  Which is what I want to do ASAP anyways.  Honorably, of course.

Edit:  There's a probability discussion for this happening on Wikipedia:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_monkey_theorem.  Of course, that only solves half of my problem.
