That's cool.

Quotehe typed on long sheets of tracing paper, taping each finished page to the previous one to form one continuous, rolling text.
QuoteThe original, 120-foot, coffee-stained scroll that is yellowing with age was purchased in 2001 by James Irsay, owner of the Indianapolis Colts, for $2.43 million. The scroll is touring U.S. museums and libraries.
