Monkey Shakespeare Simulator

We all have heard that little story about the possibiliy that a group of monkeys aimlessly typing will somehow generate one of Shakespeare's work. Check this out.

This site will "...simulate a number of monkeys typing randomly on typewriters, and each page typed is checked against every play Shakespeare ever wrote!
The longer you display this page, the longer the simulator runs, and the better the chance you have of beating the record...The current record is the first 8 letters from 'Cymbeline'...
"

The most I got was 7 letters from 'The Winters Tale'.
