typewriting monkeys with mad skillz…

SSSSSAAAAAAJJJAAASSSSSSSSJMSAAASSSSSSSSSSS
A single computer was placed in a monkey enclosure at Paignton Zoo to monitor the literary output of six primates.
But after a month, the Sulawesi crested macaques had only succeeded in partially destroying the machine, using it as a lavatory, and mostly typing the letter “s”.
…
But towards the end of the experiment, their output slightly improved, with the letters A, J, L and M also appearing.
Then again, that’s considerably better than some of the stuff I’ve seen typed up at my old high school.
