70. The Revenge of the Bard...
A graphic designed who got ripped off online got his own back - by texting the dodgy seller the entire works of Shakespeare. Edd Joseph, 24, had bought a PS3 for £80 on Gumtree, but it never arrived. He wanted revenge, as he tells the Bristol Post: "It got me thinking, 'what can I sent to him' which turned to 'what is a really long book', which ended with me sending him Macbeth." The texts only send through in 160 character increments - so the 37 works of Shakespeare will span 29,305 texts.
