The infamous saying goes that given an infinite amount of time, typewriters and monkeys (presumably, ink, ribbons, paper, band aids for paper cuts, hilarious office signs such as “you don’t have to be mad to work here, but it helps!” and a large stick to beat anyone who owns one of the aforementioned signs, are also needed), somehow the complete works of William Shakespeare would eventually get (re) written.
However given 12 assorted monkeys, two orang-utan (one of them called right turn, the other Clyde) and a gorilla, I tested the hypothesis that states:
Given 30 days and nights, a PC, some programming books, 4000 litres of coke, 100000 tubes of pringles, two posters of Star Trek: Ulhura and Seven of Nine, a sign that says “programmers do it with their fungers”, another sign that patches the first one with an “I” and a whip (Davy don’t report me to that Internet watchdog, please), it would be impossible for them to make a game as bad as any 3DO Army Man offering.
Returning at the end of the thirtieth night, I unlocked my dungeon doors, reassured the Gimp who resides there that “it was only a dream, get back into your box” and examined what the primates had created. Nothing. They hadn’t even managed to turn the computer on. The plug had been bitten off and the screen was cracked. Seven of Nine was covered with pringles (I am not alone in thinking this isn’t a bad thing) and 11 of the monkeys had met with an unfortunate end. You have to respect their temerity for enraging a gorilla who is hyped up on coke!
In conclusion I have proved that the hypothesis is correct. I expect a noble peace prize or at least a Knighthood for my efforts, though a visit from the RSPCA and an appearance on crimewatch may be the most likely of outcomes.
Must dash, I hear a knocking sound at my door...

What are you pointing at Super Smash Bros Melee for? Turn around...
... there ya go.
Now stand there and point at the X-Box controller and the, frankly shoddy, rubbish that PSOne developers are churning out at the moment. Do this for 20 minutes and don't move or look away from the pile of rubbish you're pointing at.
OK, stay there...
Keep looking...
