Career

Lerp was born in Goldbach, Saxe-Coburg and Gotha in 1886. In 1927, he invented the transportable gasoline chainsaw. Lerp tested his invention on a hill called Dolmar, and named his company after the testing site.[1] On 15 June 1928, Lerp received a patent in Germany for his invention.[2][3] His former business partner Andreas Stihl founded the German company Stihl which also makes chainsaws.[4]

gollark: It is not, however, good for parsing HTML, but since TJ09 makes DC's HTML output very annoying (no convenient classes/IDs), you kind of have to use something like that.
gollark: Alternatively, downloading the HTML and parsing it via regex, but that's horrible.
