OMG R U 4 RE-L? :-o

Thanks to Marc for sending me this story about a girl who sent almost 15,000 text messages in one month.
A California father says he discovered his 13-year-old daughter sent 484 text messages per day last month -- one message every 2 minutes of every waking hour. Greg Hardesty of Silverado Canyon, Calif., told the New York Post his 440-page cell phone bill revealed his daughter Reina had sent an astonishing 14,528 text messages.
Honestly, I don't know that there's that much to say that you need to text like that. At some point, you're probably just repeating words. At some point, you're probably just repeating words.

More importantly, that cannot possibly be good for the cell phone. Nothing can weather that kind of use and keep going. Just ask Amy Winehouse. I'm surprised that the cell phone, after the 1,000 text in two days, didn't just scream, "I GIVE UP!" and spontaneously combust.
