Is it safe to do hundreds of push-ups a day, for a long period of time? (300 push-ups a day for a couple of months to be exact)

is it safe?
yes,
if you do it with correct form as to not injure yourself
stopping when you become fatigued
drink fluids to replenish body
300 a day is actually harder than most people can do
it will build up endurance, strength,
muscles in arms, chest, back
make it a lifelong commitment
make sure you do other exercises so not to make body form uneven

Eat only when hungry and eat/drink only three times a day. Only exception is for diabetics. Water can of course be taken. Chew each morsel 32 times so that ur brain gets signal that u have had enough. Take regular exercises and brisk walks. U will loose/gain gracefully and attain the required weight in reasonable time period. One shud not appear crazy.

Yup. I am an aspiring Marine and perform over 200 pushups a day. On even days, I spread them through as many sets as I want, on odd days, in as little sets as possible. My goal is 75 consecutive pushups in a minute.

yep...
for a person that is new to resistance training after the first couple of months of doing push-ups there is no longer any damage induced in skeletal muscle as the "load" is not sufficient to cause micro-trauma. after that they will only help to increase muscular endurance

i am a peresoal trainer and yes it is fine to do that many but you should do other exercises as well not just push ups.
dont stop after a few months though keep going.
