You changed your name! O.O
But I remember who you are anyway! I feel so clever! ^^
And I can't open the link. No doubt my computer is conspiring with whatever-it-is that lurks behind it. ninja

Yes, I changed my name. And when I'm married I'll have to earn the 10,000 gold to change it again. o_o; ^__^ If you can't see it, I'll show you. It will be in white, highlight it at your own risk. >.>Literary classics become txt msgs
Classics like Pride and Prejudice are reduced to a handful of lines
Some of English literature's greatest masterpieces have been condensed into a few lines of text message to help students revise for exams.
The service condenses classic works such as Bleak House and Pride and Prejudice into a handy aide-memoire.
For example, Hamlet's famous line: "To be or not to be, that is the question" becomes "2b? Nt2b? ???".
A university professor claims it "amply demonstrates text's ability to fillet out the important elements in a plot".

"Whilst some may argue that Dickens is really too big a morsel to be swallowed by text, the Great Inimitable himself began working life as a short hand writer," said Professor John Sutherland of University College London, who is backing the project.
"He would, I suspect have approved of the brevity if nothing else."
The scheme has been developed by student mobile service dot.mobile.

The professor has compressed entire plots and believes it offers immense educational opportunities.
"Take for example the ending to Jane Eyre - 'MadwyfSetsFyr2Haus'. Was ever a climax better compressed?"

If we can invent an antidote to agonizing stupidity, we'll be hailed as heros.
