At first, I misread this as referring to Stockhausen's Klavierstuck IX, and wondered about the sight of a cat throwing its whole body against a keyboard over 100 times in succession.

No, it's 139 eighth notes followed by a dotted quarter. In a continuous diminuendo.

The real ludicrous question is, what if you lose count? Do you have to start over again? If you play only 138 eighth notes, will it make a huge difference? What if you accidentally make a crescendo between the 71st and 72nd eighth notes? What if you don't play the eighth notes evenly and one is a dotted eighth note instead? Do you have to make the next note a sixteenth to catch up?
