The 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.'"



I agree, so much saved with such little effort.

What's even more remarkable is how he was able to come to the conclusion that it was a false alarm in such a short amount of time. It takes me longer to pick a cereal for breakfast!
