In fact since there are some 96 ascii characters, and 140 + digits to play
with, we could encode 96^140 messages without even straining the system. All
you;'d need would be a suitable decoder in your twitter reader.......

It raises the interesting philosophical question, when is the meaning in the
message, and when is it in the decoder? And what if it's in neither or
both?
