The Infinite Monkey Theorem states that a monkey hitting keys completely at random on a typewriter for an infinite amount of time will, eventually, type any given text. Even the complete works of William Shakespeare. Some quotes are truly amazing. Consider the famous quote, "NOT TODAY" --Arya Stark That's 9 amazing characters.
