As Thanksgiving approaches, the Military would like you to show your appreciation to the soldiers overseas by sending them a text message.

All you have to do is text your message on any major American cell phone carrier to the number "8-9-2-7-9". The message won't be randomly sent to the cell phone of a soldier, which would have been a cool, but rather is loaded onto a military computer network, so that soldiers can browse through them at their leisure.

So there you go, a great way to say thanks to the men and women risking their lives for our country, OR a great way to send encoded messages to a "Manchurian Candidate".
