Gosh, I wish I had kept my old Sci-Fido postings. Back in the day, I worked out things like how long it would take ten monkeys to randomly type a script for [b]Hamlet[/b] (it would be orders of magnitude greater than from the Big Bang to the final particle-decay of all matter), and the volume of Borges' Library of Babel (many cubic parsecs, if I recall correctly). Sigh. I wish I still had the time and energy for such utter wastes of time!
