world record watch (iv)

Singapore takes another one.:

SHE owns three mobile phones, sends over 1,000 SMS messages a month and chalks up more than $100 on her monthly handphone bill.
A typical phone-obsessed Singaporean youth? Not really.
Few
Singaporeans can claim what 24-year-old systems engineer Miss Kimberly
Yeo now can: A place in the Guinness World Records 2005.
Ms Yeo broke the
67-second world record set by an Australian in 2003 during the SingTel
SMS Shootout last June. Her entry in the Guinness World Records was
recently confirmed.
Within 43.2 seconds, she had typed — without
the help of predictive text — the 160-character 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."
