World’s fastest texter? Maybe ;)

So, I guess I did something sort of cool. I read a blog post on Boy Genius Report yesterday about a woman who used a Samsung Galaxy S smartphone and its Swype keyboard, who actually ended up beating the world record. She typed the paragraph at about 25.94 seconds. Me? Less than 22. Watch my video and see what we typed after the jump.

Here’s what we typed:

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

Here’s the video:

Will it be a real world record? I’m not sure yet, but that’d be cool if it does!

    Your so stupid you can’t use a keyboard phone. Its strictly ABC on a number pad phone. Anyone can do what you just did. Get some friends.

    I see we have another douchebag in the house. DO SOME RESEARCH. They have their own category of different keyboards people can use. Virtual phone keyboards are accepted. Get a life idiot.
