Indian Man Goes SMS Crazy
"A man in India has reportedly managed to send 182,689 SMS text messages in just one month. This equates to roughly (and feel free to check my math on this) 4.228 texts every minute, or about 6,000 messages a day. It�s hard to believe that anyone could be so prolificly texting their friends and family with such frequency without the aid of a computer, but anything�s possible."
The math is right however it implies he was up 24 hours a day doing this. To make it more realistic let's assume he was up 14 hours a day doing this. It would then be about 7 texts every minute. It takes me a minute just to find the name I'm trying to send the message to sometimes! My BS meter is pegged on this one. :roll:

If you go to the original link at http://news.webindia123.com/news/sho...&cat=India you'll see he is doing it to get into the Guinness Book of World Records, so that makes it plausible.
Stupid, but plausable. :?

I don't know what's worse. Having to pay the bill, or being one of his victims in SMS-mania.
