The lifespan of the universe might be infinite, so the monkeys might as
well get to work.  I see where 50 monkeys escaped recently;  when they
get them back, provide them with keyboards.

I think monkeys don't like Shakespeare.
And I've been thinking about quantum entanglement and it's potential
to work backwards in time. Lately I think recent events might have
made an impression on the conscious intelligence present in the grand
waveform and there's some regret about having instantiated this life
business. Of course said consciousness will realize that life is only
a metastable condition so perhaps it's not really bothered.
