The introduction of body monitors as IPv9 addresseable units injected
into the blood stream has been rated as inconclusive. Whilst being
able to have devices lodged in the heart, kidneys, brain, etc.,
sending out SNMPv9 trap messages at critical events has been a useful
monitoring tool for doctors, the use of the blood stream as both a
delivery and a communication highway, has been problematic.

This memo describes a protocol suite which supports an infinite
number of monkeys that sit at an infinite number of typewriters in
order to determine when they have either produced the entire works of
William Shakespeare or a good television show. The suite includes
communications and control protocols for monkeys and the
organizations that interact with them.

Umm, then again, maybe that last one is revelant to Perl6 development ;-)
