Ah, applying the Infinite monkey theorem to programming :)

Yeah, but there are a few well trained monkeys hanging out [mining for karma points] at StackOverflow. The really adventurous would direct it at 4chan.

[redthrowaway → fnordfnordfnord]

Direct at at /prog/ and you may eventually run across SleepSort, which would at least do something mildly useful (in >30 languages, no less!)

Since 4chan threads are thrown away, it lacks the "hereditary" trait of the variation/selection/heredity trio. Unless you include one of the sites that archives popular threads I suppose.
