Never underestimate the power of obsession. I would not be the least bit surprised to learn that right now, as I write this, there is someone out there making their 4327th attempt to engrave "The Lord's Prayer" into a watermelon seed using a handheld sewing needle. And it's probably in an illuminated Gothic script.
