Plus perhaps Coriolanus and Taming Of The Shrew (remember, at the time ol’ Billy was cranking out mass entertainment; it didn’t become Great Literature until later. Not everything he wrote was good, let alone great.
True, because it already happened. A few million monkeys lived in Africa, and after a few million years they evolved into humans and spread over the Earth. Eventually, one of them was named William Shakespeare and he wrote a bunch of plays and sonnets. Later, the monkeys that had evolved into humans created the typewriter.

With a truly infinite number of monkeys, one would produce the complete works of William Shakespeare the first time out.
Another would produce the same text, except Hamlet is named “Phil” throughout.

One of those monkeys (or a descendant of theirs) WAS Shakespeare.

Everything is possible when you assume infinity. So what?

I reject the theory. A tessellation could go on infinitely, but it wouldn’t contain everything.
