Random Programs

You know the saying about monkeys and typewriters? What if one used a random number generator to create a valid binary executable? Sure, most of them would crash, but maybe you'd get something interesting eventually?

Yeah, I never believed that saying. I doubt there's enough time available in the universe to type Shakespeare at random. I'm sure some asshole at MIT has already done a paper on how he calculated out how long it would take, factoring in reasonable limitations for a given monkey's wpm, mechanical timings on the typewriter, and likelihood that a given generated word would end up as English.
