"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."

That's crazy he could do that. Well obviously not crazy because he actually did... but still.

[Ramor]

that's crazy amounts of awesome, how he even found the tool is a miracle.

I love those.

Hey, how was your lunch today? Yeah? Good.

Oh, mine was fine.

Well… there was this one part where A F***ING HAWK FLEW INTO THE RESTAURANT WHERE I WAS EATING, AND LANDED ON MY FOOD.

Yeah. really.


I was sitting at a window seat next to the open door, and my food had just been brought out. I looked down to see this guy (or gal - I don’t know hawks) just standing in the doorway, looking back and forth. After surveying the place for a few seconds, it flapped its way in and up onto one of the empty tables.

The guy working the counter came out, and we were both (slowly and carefully) snapping pictures with our phones. The hawk didn’t react to us apart from turning his head to look back and forth between us — even when said employee said:

“Man, you inna wrong place, bird! Dontchu know this a chicken joint?”

But after few more calm seconds, once we were just standing there trying to figure out what the hell to do next, the hawk leapt up and made a beeline through the air directly at yours truly. I executed what could only have been a remarkably awkward yell-and-dodge maneuver, and turned around to see it standing on my two-piece-with-side-and-soda combo, just chilling and looking out the window wistfully, as though a Sarah McLachlan song were playing in its head.

The hawk just sat there for a little while, getting jerk BBQ sauce all over its talons and looking all emo, until it was spooked by the restaurant’s delivery guy walking in, whereupon it shot past all of us into the kitchen.
The counter guy, the delivery guy and I heard a few pots clanging as we debated calling animal control versus just trying to shoo it back out the door, when one of the cooks who was back there caught the hawk with his bare hands, and walked it back outside.

“What restaurant was this?”

I am so glad that you asked.

The place is called, I kid you not… “BIRDIE’S”.

Seems fake.

OK now THAT'S a cool story bro.

[Max™]

That is an excellent story, I fucking LOVE surreal moments like that, but lol@yell and dodge maneuver.

Shoulda made like the smoothest motherfucker ever and as it flew at you, wrapped your coat over your arm and held it up for it to land on, then just act like nothing out of the ordinary happened.

Give half the chicks in there a mini-orgasm.

Fairly certain this is fake. The letters are raised, not etched--he would have had to carve around them or stamp the head of the pin to achieve this.

Turns out it's not fake, but it wasn't A. Schiller, it was Godfrey Lundberg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

With a tool too small to see with the naked eye?
