If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

A 16-year-old Singaporean student yesterday broke the Guinness World Record for the fastest SMS when she entered 160 characters in just 41.52 seconds, Reuters reports.

Ang Chuang Yang claimed the title in a Singapore Telecommunications-sponsored competition, wresting the crown from previous holder Ben Cook who in July managed a deft 42.22 seconds.

For those of you who fancy giving it a shot, the standard text for all SMS compos is: "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.

My HL love grows apace.

Mine just took a hit. Weren't there any undeserving assault victims in NYC that night that he could have rescued instead?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

FWIW, I really don't like humiliation humor, and I liked Borat: except for a couple of moments, I didn't find it to be at all watch-from-the-hall. (This is possibly because the victims declined to be embarrassed in the least.)

It's got its problems as a movie (mostly with the cobbled-together "plot"), and it's not as good as the Ali G shorts, but I found the mood to be is very different from kicked-in-the-nuts movies.

I'm glad I'm not the only person who felt uncomfortable watching Meet the Parents.

My feeling also extends to Anger Management.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I can deal with embarrassment/humiliation humor if it's a comeuppance. I couldn't make it through Meet the Parents.

Borat? Definitely Not My Thing.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Um, what's an SMS?

SMS stands for Short Message Service.

How many of the Borat victims were drunk?
