I just pointed this out to a friend and she gladly brought up the Shire calendar from Tolkien's works, which according to her has 12 months, 30 days a month, 7 days a week, 365 days a year with the date of each month staying the same weekda

Nature doesn't either. It tries something. If it works, then it continues; if it doesn't, it tries something else. And thus x amt of monkeys were able to randomly recreate the works of Shakespeare.
