Ha!

"The work was interesting but had little scientific value, except to show that
the 'infinite monkey' theory is flawed."

I love it. Flawed, as in he thinks nobody had ever noticed that an infinite
number of monkeys would be difficult to arrange? Or does he really think that
infinity can be approximated by eight? And whoever said it was a theory in the
first place? :-D

Although to be honest, this wtf is probably as much lazy reporting by the BBC as
anything said or done by those supposedly involved...
