(Newser) – British actor Stephen Fry tweeted his way out of a stuck London elevator yesterday, reports the Times of London. "Hell's teeth. Arse, poo and widdle," Fry typed to his 100,000 Twitter followers, along with his exact location. Passengers were freed in 45 minutes. Fry, of Wilde and Bones fame, is king of Britain's social networking Twitter-verse, topping out a recent Times survey of the most popular celebrity tweeters.
