Marva Drew typed every number from 1 to 1,000,000, because a teacher told her kid nobody could count from 1 to 1,000,000, and she didn't believe it.
It took her six years, and 2500 pages, but Guinness said no record because nobody watched her do it.

....
Reminds me of our IT manager we had end of the 1990s. We had created a new application and stored some 3.5 million customer records on the server database. He didn't believe it and wanted to see them scroll across the screen - now wait for it - right in front of an international audience of IT specialists who were there to see our application. Duh!

They don't have a Cruelty to Animals charge in the UK?

And then you offer HER the protection? Kind of fucking backwards if you ask me.
