Au contraire, chalumeau-breath:
    The word 'gazornenplat' was first used by Bob Newheart in his routine about how an infinite number of monkeys typing on an infinite number of typewriters would in an infinite amount of time would reproduce all the world's great literature.  He said, "Oh, just a minute, i think one of the monkeys has something over here.  Yes, here it is now: 'To be, or not to be, that is the gazornenplat.'"
