Editing Infinite monkey theorem (section)

==Actual monkeys==
In 2002,<ref name=vivariaNotesShakespeare/> lecturers and students from the [[University of Plymouth]] MediaLab Arts course used a £2,000&nbsp;grant from the [[Arts Council England|Arts Council]] to study the literary output of real monkeys. They left a computer keyboard in the enclosure of six [[Celebes crested macaque]]s in [[Paignton Zoo]] in Devon, England from May 1 to June 22, with a radio link to broadcast the results on a website.<ref name="BBC News">{{cite news |title=No words to describe monkeys' play |date=2003-05-09 |website=BBC News |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/3013959.stm |access-date=2009-07-25}}</ref>
