I'm sure someone out there in the Philippines can out-text Kimberly Yeo, 23, who typed a horribly complicated 26-word message on her cell phone in 43.66 seconds to set the new world record for speed-texting, or spdtxtng.

Here is the excerpt. See if you can beat 43.66 seconds. You might find your name in the Guiness Book.

Contestants had to type this message: "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."

The article adds:

Using the cell phone's predictive text function -- which guesses words as letters are typed in -- was not allowed, and the target phrase's punctuation needed to be accurate, as well.

We ought to defend our title as "The Text Capital of the World".
