finger-lickin' fast!
so... singaporean twenty-three year old student kimberly yeo, looks to have smashed the world record for high speed text messaging by managing to send a 160-character sms message in just 43.24 seconds, knocking more than twenty seconds off the official record of 67 seconds held by briton james trusler.the amazing aspect of the story is that we're not talking about a message in shorthand regarding dinner plans but actually this: «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». oh, and the use of spelling aids or a predictive text programme on the phone is forbidden!
she won £8,000 in cash and other prizes... good show, ms yeo!
