You know by chance.
Imagine that those monkeys live in their mothers basement, and they're sitting in front of computers.
Then, imagine all the monkeys that would fling poo at the computer and it would accidentally hit a key and post a message, you know instead of making Shakespeare.

and they will write x-rated versions. But after the couple times I went and looked at FR, all I saw was

The same number as their are Republican house members!
