It comes out of the legend/rumour that if you had an infinite supply of monkeys at typewriters, they'd eventually produce the works of Shakespeare. FF.net was said to have an infinite supply of voles, who are less literarily-inclined than monkeys, and it will take them longer to produce works of value.
There's some great stuff at FF.net, but I shudder to think of anyone just wandering through trying to find it without recommendation lists.
