The Epistler was quite honestly knocked on her ethereal behind by the sheer logic of this.

Perhaps you did not note that we added three additional exclamation points after our previous attempts at insults were stymied, thus making our comeback thrice as biting.ahem. wrote:Okay, there are 100 of you, and you can't come up with a better comeback than that? I'm afraid I'm losing faith in your "Monkey overlords are good for humans" campaign.

The excellent Terry Pratchett somewhere (I believe in the book "Maskerade") defines a mobocracy's IQ as the lowest IQ of a mob member divided by the number of mob members. I'm not saying that 100 typing monkeys are a mob, but it does seem like their intellect is suffering just a touch . . . Pratchett also points out in "Reaper Man" that only deranged minds use four exclamation points at a time. I'm just sayin'.

It seems to us that the only thing Mr. Pratchett is excellent at is being stupid. SNAP! (we have determined by perusing sundry interweb discussion boards that "snap" is an appropriate exclamation after rendering a particularly powerful rejoinder)Wisteria wrote:The excellent Terry Pratchett somewhere (I believe in the book "Maskerade") defines a mobocracy's IQ as the lowest IQ of a mob member divided by the number of mob members.

We quite agree, the questions just kept coming, and some of them were quite time intensive to write. But, what can we do? Readers don't know when four other readers have written us a question, so sometimes we're asked questions in bunches.Portia wrote:I think there were too many question addressed to the Monkeys that posted yesterday.

Whoa, Mr. Jessop, we're not entirely certain we like the aspersions you are casting upon us. Rest assured that each of us is possessed of the wisdom of Solomon and the endurance of Atlas. But with such abilities come more rigorous standards. The need to meticulously draft our answers to the high standards all 100 of us maintain should not be deemed as evidence that we are equal to humans. If we slumped to human standards undoubtedly we could handle the entirety of the Board inbox.Craig Jessop wrote:Good thing there's 100 of you then. Unless, of course, you combined only have the intelligence and strength of one human -- pretty pathetic, monkeys, pretty pathetic.

This is true. And in the interest of full disclosure, #23 is not overflowing with wisdom juice either. But the rest of us carry their load just fine. 98 monkeys with the wisdom of Solomon is nothing to raise your olfactory organ at.Dead Cat wrote:Except for #27, the glue sniffer.100 Typing Monkeys wrote:Rest assured that each of us is possessed of the wisdom of Solomon
