Australian Les Stewart holds what the Web site Oddee.com calls the “third most bizarre” of all Guinness Book world records: typing out the written numbers “one” through “one million” over a period of 16 years, from 1983 to 1998, according to an August story in his local newspaper, Sunshine Coast Daily. Stewart said he typed for 20 minutes at the beginning of every waking hour during that time because he “wanted something to do … It just came naturally to me.”

At Boston’s Howard Yezerski Gallery in May, photographer Karl Baden displayed contact prints of the 7,305 images he took of himself, one a day every day for more than 20 years, beginning Feb. 23, 1987. Althoygh he missed Oct.15,1995. He says the forgotten day proves the humanness behind his art.
