Stephen Fry stuck in lift - breaking news!
I'm not quite sure how online technology has come to this.
However, I am now monitoring, second by second, the peculiar story of Stephen Fry being stuck in a lift in the Centre Point building in the middle of London. He is twittering his plight by iPhone on hashtagged Twitter channel #frylift, while his hundred thousand followers are attempting to keep his spirits up by twittering back any number of lift-based stories, mostly involving death and farting.
And if you're an archaeologist of the far future, who has come across some random record of this blog post and is attempting to make sense of it, good luck to you.
