Url Shorteners Curse Like Motherf****rs

You know the theory that if you leave 100 monkeys in a room – with 100 typewriters – for infinity – they would at some point write the entire works of Shakespeare…

Well, for some reason (perhaps because I’m immature) it occurred to me – do url Shorteners make curse words as they cycle through their auto generated alphanumeric ID’s

Apparently they do.
