The Leila Texts.

February 29th, 2008 — 12:55pm

This is great:

When you send a text message on the Verizon network, you can address your text by choosing a name out of your contact list, or you can address it by typing in a phone number. You can also type in a name. And if you type in L-E-I-L-A, then– bizarrely– your text will come to me.
This is a blog about the texts I have received. All of them are from strangers, intended for other Leilas, but obviously they missed their marks.

I hope she has a good text messaging plan. (via)

For Randall Munroe’s LimerickDB:

A young boy set out on his own
To restore Princess Z. to her throne
Ere he took on the horde,
Said a man with a sword,
It’s dangerous to go alone.”

I could do this all day.
