So here’s the story: a 27 year-old woman from the UK held the Guinness World Record for text messaging speed using a Samsung Galaxy S (aided by the Galaxy’s SWYPE keyboard) to type out a two-sentence message in under 26 seconds. Apparently, that record was still very beatable. 19 year-old Brian just posted video proof of himself beating it, typing the same sentence in under 22 seconds using an iPhone (with auto-correct off, of course), with a couple of split seconds used to both start and stop the timer himself.
The video’s after the cut, and really, you have to see it. Brian didn’t even use the iPhone’s bigger landscape keyboard. That ain’t easy. (Or maybe it’s just us. Typing “Guinness World Record” alone on the iPhone’s virtual keyboard already takes us around 15 seconds.)
The feat isn’t “official” since no one from Guinness wasn’t there to make it legit, but someone has got to get this guy on the record books.
If you want to try it out, here’s what you have to tap out:
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.
