- cyberferret 10y agoThe first time someone has won major recognition for literally doing nothing? A remarkable story. "it was my job. I was simply doing my job, and I was the right person at the right time, that's all. My late wife for 10 years knew nothing about it. 'So what did you do?' she asked me. 'Nothing. I did nothing.'"
