I think we have something potentially... I don't know, maybe like the
"Planet of the Apes" in embryonic form and then we can use an army of

Ideas anyone?

There was a similar experiment (still running) starting in the mid-to-late
80s with millions of monkeys.  And smarter monkeys, at that.  Somehow
instead of Hamlet, we ended up with Usenet, though.
