    16 Years, 7 months wasted. Now with a simple script, and a computer it would only take minutes. It might take a while to print it, but it wouldn’t take long to create.

    I, for one, would think a better name for a group of parrots would be a ‘cacophony.’

    For those curious why Mr. Stewart devoted so much time to this mundane task, “When asked why he has undertaken this time consuming and repetitious task, Les says that he has little else to do now that he has been classed as an invalid, and can no longer work. Besides that, Les enjoys typing and used to be a police typing instructor before his sickness which meant his withdrawal from the force. Typing an average three pages a day with one finger since April 1982, Les said his secret was to type for 20 minutes on the hour, every hour”

    He began the task, "as therapy following an accident and serious illness. "

    When he was done, did Mr. Stewart then type it all backwards?

    A little response to those who commented early on,about the unusual activity of Mr. Stewart:Now that you know more of his story, try to remember—

    Judge not, lest thee be judged.

    Or, as my neighbor says, “Don’t jump to concussions.”

    To paraphrase, “All the Les Stewarts of the world, laid end to end, would not reach a conclusion…”

    Wow. Somebody was bored out of his skull to type all those numbers in words. And did you know that in doing that he did not touch the letter “A” until he typed “one thousand?”

    Mr. Stewart has obviously led a more productive life than the congressional republicans.

    Unless that’s a really sloppy illustration, that “baseball” looks more like an egg.

    where my daughter lived in burbank there was a group of feral parrots, she sent a video with sound. pandemonium is a huge understatement.

    To think the “a” button wasn’t pressed until he typed the word “thousand”.
