NY Man Done Writing Out Entire Bible

It took him four years, but Phillip Patterson now has serious cause to throw around a couple of hallelujahs: The Upstate New York man yesterday finished his mammoth project of writing out the entire Bible by hand, reports the AP. "Every single curly-q, every single loop, it was all worth it," says the 63-year-old, who took on the project as a means of learning about the Bible. "I'm really going to miss this writing." Patterson wrote out the last two verses at St. Peter's Presbyterian Church in Spencertown, ending appropriately enough with "amen." He plans to spend another year on the binding and cover before donating the entire 2,400-page opus to St. Peter's. (More Bible stories.)
