One would think after my many years in the “writing” business, I would become a proficient and speedy typist. One would be WRONG. While generally accurate, my typing speed is more akin to a dope huffing hippie with six broken fingers. And I’m not being self-deprecating, because my theory was just soundly proven at the addictively fun site, TypeRacer.

The objective is simple enough: Who can type the fastest? You can either race against yourself to see what your WPM is, invite a friend to race against you, or race against others at random! The high scores are posted on the site, but what’s really fun is that you’re typing phrases and selections from cool books —such as Stephen Colbert’s I am Amercia (and So Can You)— and even movies like Blade Runner. FYI, the current high score on the site is 210 words per minute. Mine is somewhat less than that… like if you divided it by four.

Try it—it’s fun!
