Dear Grandma,
I hope this letter finds you still alive, and that you haven’t been stuffed and served for some human’s dinner. As usual, Thanksgiving has been a hectic and nerve wracking time for us. My family and I are all still alive and well. This year we (Dad, Mum, Tom, Tina, and myself) devised a new plan for escaping the clutches of the turkey-killing humans. Instead of just running madly when the humans tried to kill us, we built a hideout deep in the forest among thick undergrowth. We dared not venture far to find food in case the humans saw us and decided we looked tasty. It was quite a strain on our nerves, continually being on the lookout for prowling humans. We had more than one sleepless night because of our fears. There were a few funny incidents though; one time I saw what looked like a rather large duck sitting by himself on the bank of a stream. He looked harmless so I ambled over to have a chat with him, and to my astonishment t was actually a turkey disguised as a duck! His only problem being that he couldn’t swim! The others had a good laugh at this when I related the tale to them afterwards. At last, to our relief, Thanksgiving was over and we were out of danger, for this year at least.
Please write back and let us know how you fared over Thanksgiving.
Love from Tony Turkey.
P.S. If you have been served for dinner, you might want to get one of your friends to reply for you.
Elliot Nicholls, 17, broke the world record in Dunedin yesterday, not once but twice, texting a 160-character message blindfolded and finishing in 51 seconds on his second attempt and then 45 seconds on his fourth try. The previous record was set by an Italian at one minute 23 seconds.
His father, Daniel Nicholls, who watched the record- breaking attempt, always got Elliott a copy of the Guinness Book of Records each Christmas so he wasn't surprised by his son "attempting something quirky".
Elliot, a Year 12 student at Dunedin's John McGlashan College, decided to attempt the world record after seeing the texting record on he Guinness website. Knowing he could easily beat it, he contacted the Guinness Book and set up the challenge.
Elliot has had to fit his training schedule in with his studies, but estimates on average he sends about 50 texts a day.
For the past fortnight he has had to memorise and practise the world record attempt text - "the razor toothed piranhas of the genera serrasal musand pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. in reality they rarely attack a human".
Elliot's text message had to match it exactly, including spaces, punctuation and spelling with no mistakes.
"I've been practising about 20 minutes every day for the past week, I knew I could do it, I just had to get the phrase into my brain."
Elliot is on his seventh phone, having driven over one, lost two and worn out the keypads on the others.
He has texted since he was 12 and wears a wrist support but claims it's because of a boxing injury.

A South Dakotan may be new world-record holder when it comes to swallowing Tabasco sauce. Levi Johnson of Tea (yes, that is the name of a city!) drank 5.5 ounces of the hot sauce, or nearly 3 bottles, in 30 seconds at a sports bar in that community.
The Guinness Book of World Records lists the previous record at 5.07 ounces. Johnson's feat must be verified by Guinness publishers before it is considered official.
