But how many characters does it take to spell hyperbole?

Technology visionary and renowned futurist Ashton Kutcher commented recently that Twitter:

"... is as significant and paradigm - shifting as the invention of Morse code, the telephone, radio, television or the personal computer."

and also that:

"Right now the word revolution is spelled with 140 characters."

Hmm.... Maybe.

But only if you spell it:

rrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvvvvvvoooooooooooooo
lllllllllllllluuuuuuuuuuuuuuttttttttttttttiiiiiiiiiiiiiioooooooooooooo
nnnnnnnnnnnnnn

And for those wondering, here's how you say "what are you doing?" in Morse code:

.-- .... .- - / .- .-. . / -.-- --- ..- / -.. --- .. -. --. ..--..

and how you would Morse Tweet "I am thinking about having lunch":

.. / .- -- / - .... .. -. -.- .. -. --. / .- -... --- ..- - /
.... .- ...- .. -. --. / .-.. ..- -. -.-. ....
