Tue Mar 22, 2005 3:36 PM GMT LONDON (Reuters) - A Scottish factory worker has been crowned the world's fastest texter after punching out a complicated message in record time. Craig Crosbie, 24, took just 48 seconds to type out 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." He beat the previous record holder by 19 seconds, Guinness World Records said on Tuesday. Crosbie, who has been texting since the age of 16, sends about 75 messages a day and says the key to fast texting is practice. "All my friends say that the speed at which I text is quite unbelievable," Crosbie told Reuters. |

Surely it would've been quicker for him to type: T razr-tuthd pranhs o t genra Srraslms n Pygocntrus r t mst froshus freshwtr fsh n t wrld. n rlty they seldm attk u mn 
I think to congratulate him we should all send him this text, quicker in predictive mode, mind... "I love Scots"  :D
