Today, for a brief second, I thought of a life without Roger. It was much like my current life, except that this forum was a bit nicer.

I feel the urge to test this hypothesis. See you in a couple of jungles time.

you will also require several armies of trained monkeys to reproduce the sound.

If I had even one reasonable army of trained monkeys I wouldn't be fucking around trying to reproduce musics. I'd be laying waste to all that stood in my path.

hmm.. this appears to put several very real and practical roadblocks to my sticks-hypothesis.

is it still practically possible to store information on some form of media, if the extraction of said information requires you to have an army of monkeys/superhuman powers/a planetary demolition fleet or similar feats of awesome power at your disposal, that would be distracting  to such an extent that the information itself becomes irrelevant or at the very least so very much less interesting than before you had an army of monkeys?

Practical?  No.  The amount of energy/organization/trained monkey technology needed to put 750 Mb of memory into sticks would indicate a better/more effective means of media storage already in place.

Might make a decent art project, though.
