Zzz-Mailing

First Confirmed Case of Online Sleepwalking

The University of Toledo has released details on the first confirmed instance of sleep e-mailing, or what scientists are now calling Zzz-mailing. A woman turned on her computer, logged onto to the Internet and sent out a series of e-mails, one of which was an invitation to drinks.

The e-mail in question read, “Come tomorrow and sort this hell hole out. Dinner and drinks, 4.pm,. Bring wine and caviar only.”

If I ever sent out Zzz-mails, they would have been a whole lot worse.
