PROVO, Utah (AP) -- Ben Cook's fingers can communicate at warp speed.
Cook, 17, used his cellular phone key pads to type a string of words with 160 characters in 57.75 seconds Tuesday, bidding to become the world's text-messaging king.
The message was: "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."
Cook competed against a friend, Dave Stoddard, and others in a televised text-off. Cook improved on his early performances, which took him about four minutes to type out the standard Guinness World Record sentences.
"I just have fast thumbs, I guess." Cook said. "I'm just always texting. My parents are always on my case about not taking (the phone) to church."
Cook edged out Stoddard by less than two seconds. Both said they can pound out messages keeping their phones under a desk or in a pocket.
Guinness lists the previous record typing the same words at 67 seconds.
