According to Wikipedia:
"The infinite monkey theorem states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type a given text, such as the complete works of William Shakespeare."
Well, the WordPress/Jetpack helper monkeys have had another go at my Annual Report.
It's different but it's still wrong.
Here's a clickable copy of the latest version:
They'll probably blame the system, the software or the database but we all know that it's a PICNIC error.

When an experiment took place involving monkeys and typewriters the only word that made any sense was Chumbawamba 😉
I think the monkeys have had a go at osting the report as I can't make it large enough to read...
🙁
@george - LOL George - I always wondered where they got that name from 😕
@alan.sloman - Click it and it should open up in a new window with an option to go "bigger", Alan. Does that not work for you?
Ah - Must have been my observational skills - i missed the "Bigger" bit. I just tried clicking on it to make it bigger which didn't work. I never was very good at following instructions.
Cheers Stef.
(I am sure I must have made more comments than that in the year though...)
I'll make the instructions clearer then.
> Look at the post and perform one left-click on the pic.
> Wait for the pic to open in a new window, at the bottom of that window is a row of options, perform one left-click on the word "Bigger".
> Wait for the bigger version to appear.
> Poke fun at it.
> One left-click on the bigger version will clear it and return you to the original post.
Hope that helps. If not, please let me know your postal address and I'll send you a copy of the pic in Braille format.
