Karl PilkingtonIt wouldn't happen... There hasn't been one publication by a monkey
About This Quote
When the director of the Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London said, “It wouldn't happen... There hasn't been one publication by a monkey,” she was referring to the fact that an ape cannot write. The phrase is commonly used in the field of biology and medicine to imply that something is impossible or beyond our capability. It usually is a way of expressing a sentiment that is true but not very complimentary. For example, “I cannot believe that a human being could commit such a heinous crime.” might become “It wouldn’t happen… There hasn’t been one publication by a monkey!”
