From time to time there are people who just do stuff that is simply unbelievable not only from the stand point of what they did, but also in response to the question of why on earth they would do it. (In the beginning a few people thought exactly that way of my wife for marrying me. Today that number has increased.)
Anyway, it's not like she did something totally crazy like Les Stewart. Les manually typed out each number between one and a million on a typewriter. I don't know what brand of typewriter he used, but as you can read below he wore out 7 of them.
I wonder if he ever tried to get a corporate sponsor. He seems like just the guy that Smith-Corona, IBM, or Toshiba would give a Porche to drive around when he went out for a new ribbon.
