The only person I know of, out of 3 billion plus people on the planet, was 
David Malin. (No, he is not a professional research astronomer, despite 
what you may have heard.)

And now Tony says Bill Fletcher.

Ok, two people on the entire planet. Amazing.

Can anyone think of any other job that has that few people making a living 
at it?
