Another installment in the annals of weird, wacky and funny:

"South Korea will begin sending legal notices — including indictments — to people through mobile phones instead of ordinary mail next year to save time and enhance privacy, an official said.

"We will send legal notices through text and voice messages on a trial basis beginning in January," Jun Dae-jin, an official at the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office, told The Associated Press. "Full service will begin within the first half of next year."

Jun said prosecutors decided to shift to the electronic service as it takes time for recipients to get notices by mail and some get overlooked or lost when people change addresses."
