It was an act of destiny when Uncle Lucas’s typewriter business went out of business a week after we inherited Monkey Island from Uncle Charles, who had just died of encephalitis. With my parents’ permission, I chartered a vessel from Havana to the Island, West of Turks and Caicos Islands, the cargo of which was a gross of typewriters. I spent my summer on the Island planting typewriters and reams of paper throughout the forests, and I’ve returned every summer since to see if the Infinite Monkey Theorem is true. So far it’s half true. They’re only producing the comedies.

And I hate to be a pedantic wanker, but Shakespeare wrote tragedies, comedies AND histories — not to mention all those homoerotic sonnets — so shouldn’t it be (“one-third true”)?
Your wankery is valid. I did not include the histories in my research. HOWEVER! According to Wikipedia, where I get most of my knowledge of such things, he wrote 16 comedies, 10 histories, and 12 tragedies. So, really, it should be “8/11 or 42% true,” neither of which really roll off the tongue.
