"A 23-year-old Singaporean woman has set a world record for sending text messages over a mobile phone.
Kimberly Yeo thumbed 26 words in 43 seconds into her phone, beating a world record of 67 seconds for the same words set by a Briton last September.
At a contest in front of a department store on Sunday, Yeo was among 125 people timed by a panel of independent officials to see how fast they could type the following 160-character message:
"The razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human.”
Yeo, who won $10,250 in cash for her nimble thumbs, said she sends out about an average of 1,500 text messages a month to friends and family.
i reckon i'd need 45 seconds just to type the word "Pygocentrus" Shouldn't have thought predictive text would help you much with that! But then, I suppose if you send out 50 texts a day like she does, you'd get pretty quick too...
