Fastest Texter Named
Galaxy S Smartphone
A British woman has set the world record for fast text messaging.
Melissa Thompson, 27, wrote “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”, in 25.94 seconds. Try doing that while driving (just kidding).
The official Guinness World Record is currently held by American Franklin Page, 24, who wrote the same passage in 35.54 seconds in March this year.
Ms Thompson, from Salford, Greater Manchester, was using Samsung’s new Galaxy S smartphone when she shaved a huge 9.6 seconds off Mr Page’s record.
That’s quite a text message record.
