80,012 Text Messages In One Month

webguru4god writes "According to an article on AZCentral.com, a man in New Zealand sent an average of 2,580 text messages a day for a whole month to protest his cell phone provider cancelling their unlimited text messaging plan. I recently received a faulty cell phone bill for $2000 claiming that I sent 40,000 text messages in one month, which I thought was physically impossible. But apparently this man has doubled that number and managed to get 8 hours of sleep each night for the month!"

  1. Anyone else been stationed in Berlin? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    When i was stationed at andrews barracks in berlin i knew that place was haunted. It has the location of the old prussian officers academy. After hitler gained power many were executed there during night of the long knives. This kaserne has many underground tunnels and firing ranges i've had the feelings of unease at night when i was there. also across the street (finckenstein allee) some of the businesses and their basement have things that ain't right. One bar (the speakeasy probably closed) was haunted. The owner had a dog that would beg for attention and would do it at empty tables as if someone was sitting there. The basement or cellar was haunted according to bartenders,and they weren't keen on going down there for cases of beer. i did it a couple times and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. I felt as if someone was watching me. There were cold spots down there.It kinda freeked me out. When i did the deed of getting a case of beer I wasn't so sure a free beer was worth the creepy feeling.
