At a mobile phone text messaging competition held in Singapore in 2004, Kimberly Yeo, 23, broke the World’s Guinness Record with her lightning-fast fingers by typing a 160-character sentence within 43.24 seconds.
Contestants were not allowed to use predictive text or QWERTY keyboards, only the simple handset keys where each digit represents 3-4 letters. Since then, another Singaporean geek has clocked in at 41.52 seconds, proving that Singaporeans really need to get laid. The sentence the contestants were asked to type was, “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.” Who makes this stuff up? They could have chosen something from BK.
