This guy's story is pretty incredible. If you haven't heard of him, check out the Wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Paravicini) and this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kwjDLHX92w)

As hokey as it sounds, I'm continuously amazed by the human condition and our ability to realize such potential under seemingly overwhelming odds.

heard of it, but haven't ever read it. i can't imagine how long it must have taken to transcribe that. didn't he write it by blinking his left eye or something? insane.

Yep. I think I read somewhere it took 200,000 blinks or something.
