The ten-millionth Bernoulli number

Wolfram Research's Oleksandr Pavlyk recently computed the 10-millionth Bernoulli number using Mathematica:

BernoulliB[10^7]

(It took about 6 days to run).

He has a readable essay about it along with proof that the monster number he generated actually is a Bernoulli number.
