Beware that which separates us from primates, of SMS

text message

Maybe it's a little alarmist (and a little late) for The Times-Picayune to be downright worried about America's burgeoning habit for SMSing one another, but hey, what do we know? We can't presume to have the same body of knowledge about all matters dexterous as certified hand therapist Stacey Doyon, who thinks "too much texting can result in an aching pain at the base of the thumb." Sure, but can't too much anything result in stress and repetitive injury? Still, you can't argue with technical terminology for a type of tendinitis known as "Nintendo thumb." Very good, sirs, carry on then.
