A finite number of monkeys would almost certainly just destroy their finite number of typewriters long before they randomly bashed out anything coherent, let alone Shakespeare. Infinite monkeys with infinite typewriters don't have that problem though. As long as it doesnt break the laws of physics it would eventually happen, no matter how unlikely it is. That's the whole point.
