How did you come up with your name? I just got a kick when I was looking at my emailed scorecard and read it as 'i score faster than monkeys' (iscore@fasterthanmonkeys). Just something I found amusing that sparked interest in how you came up with your name.

It is a play on a few different things, the main one being the "Infinite Monkey Theorem" - see this Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_monkey_theorem, where basically anything that can ever be written could be written by a million monleys with a million typewriters in a million years. It is also a reference to the term "Code Monkeys" which is typically used to refer to computer programmers that write a lot of code, but don't really understand what they are doing.

We are faster than both... or so we hope... :)
