Quote:
A Bristol graphic designer who was ripped off by an internet seller has turned to Shakespeare to get his revenge.
Edd Joseph, 24, who lives in the city with his girlfriend, was furious when he bought a PS3 games console for £80 and the seller failed to deliver the goods.
So Edd decided to take his revenge by sending him the entire works of the Bard - by text.
Edd discovered he could copy the words from the internet and paste them into a text message - without costing him a penny on his unlimited mobile phone package.
He sends it as one text but his victim can only receive them in 160 character chunks - meaning the 37 works of Shakespeare will buzz through in 29,305 individual texts.

I just had to pass this one on. It's definitely a new use for the works of the immortal bard. I had no idea an ebook (at least the text file version) could be sent via text like that. I don't know if it would be practical as a method of reading a book in general or not though. I think I'll stick to the Kindle or other similar ebook devices.
