Keep changing what you say
Harry until like that room with a million monkeys, you finally make sense.
This is why I keep reading RAO!
You mean because the vagaries of Krooglish are an endless source of
mystification and unintentional humor?
It's so direct and unselfconscious. See how the half-assimilated device
of the simile is employed to stand the concept of the "infinite monkey
theorem" on its head as apparently sensible words reveal nonsense.
In the Hive, similes may well be bidirectional. If a million 'borgs can
pool their money to buy one decent stereo, then surely a wealthy Normal
can afford to buy cheesy "adequate" stereos for 10,000 'borgs at Best Buy.
Well, live and learn: the "Hundredth Monkey Effect" is something
different (besides an 80s Austin band).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundredth_Monkey
This was a serious theorem, my friend: "The 'Hundredth Monkey Effect' is
the name for a supposed phenomenon in which a particular learned behaviour
spread instantaneously from one group of animals, once a critical number
was reached, to all related animals in the region or perhaps throughout
the world. Largely due to popularisation of this story, the 'Hundredth
Monkey Effect' phenomenon is now thought by some to occur in human
populations with respect to ideas and beliefs in general even though the
original story has been discredited (Myers 1985)."
Implantation and assimilation can be quite the time-savers.
