Texting About Razor-Toothed Piranhas (or The World’s Fastest Texting Record)
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.
That’s the standard text used for professional competition SMS typing. What? They have such a contest? Apparently so. And this year an 18-year old from Utah broke the record.
Ben Cook, 18, of Provo, returned to the top of the cell phone text-messaging heap Friday at a Denver text-off, blazing through a 160-character standardized message in 42.22 seconds.
I don’t know why one would need to text so fast. If it were about a life-or-death situation, I would rather call.
At any rate, I have my T9 dictionary turned on most of the time, to make typing easier. I’m not much of a fan of txt spk (or text speak). And if I were asked to text about the razor-toothed piranhas mentioned above, I would’ve just said:
Dude, check out my cool fish!
