    Unbelievable??? Believe it!

    Convicted forger A. Schiller was serving his time in Sing
    Sing prison in the late 1800s when guards found him dead in
    his cell. On his body they found seven regular straight pins
    whose heads measured the typical 47/1000ths of an inch or
    1.17 millimeters in diameter. Under 500 magnification it was
    found that the tiny etchings seen on the heads of the pins
    were the words to The Lord's Prayer, which is 65 words and
    254 letters long. Of the seven pins, six were silver and one
    was gold - the gold pin's prayer was flawless and a true
    masterpiece. Schiller had spent the last 25 years of his life
    creating the pins, using a tool too small to be seen by the
    naked eye. It is estimated that it took 1,863 sepatate carving
    strokes to make it. Schiller went blind because of his
    artwork.
