I recall seeing someone say that X number of monkeys on a key board hitting keys would through random change type out a book or
series of books I now forget which.
With random number generators we should be able to figure out the
odds and put this to a real test by setting up this type of condition and
see if it can really happen. I do not believe it is possible for example
to randomly type out the "Hobbit", and I have serious doubts about getting all the text right in a book so small as "Good night Moon."
How long before random chance kicks in a writes a book for us?
