Busy Fingers in Detroit

14,000 text message! It is a wonder that Kwame Kilpatrick and Christine Beatty had time to have sex, let alone time to run the City of Detroit.

Admittedly, I'm not great at math, but I think this breaks down as follows...

14,000 messages
@30 seconds to type each message on those tiny little keyboards
= apx. 2 messages per minute (one message each way)
@120 messages per hour
=116 hours of typing time for 14,000 messages
@2,880 messages per day
= apx. 4.8 days of typing for all 14,000 messages

Presumably there wasn't much foreplay involved; their fingers would have been too tired.

News Flash! The Wayne County Prosecutor has just release a 12-point indictment against Kilpatrick and Beatty.
