Monkeys could be taught to type words if given banana incentives
	when they get one right.  With lessening incentives for recent
	repeats, vocab could be expanded.   I believe that real monkeys
	could really do the preceeding.

	Now, could a similar incentive scheme induce real monkeys to
	be able to make plausible sentences?   Perhaps not, but if
	it could be done (particularly by restricting scope of action
	to rather arrid buzzword-oriented vocabs) it might be conceivable
	to get them to do paragraphs.   If this were actually possible, 
	could style be far behind?   In fact this would mean that
	monkeys would be able to do PhD theses and similar arrid work
	outwardly acceptably.   The only difference would be that the
	monkeys would not actually understand the work.   But would
	that actually be a difference from typical PhD work anyway?

	Tenure is the Ultimate Banana.

	I invented the above little number while working on my thesis,
	I remain convinced that it has a Great Truth in it.
