    So I can’t type all that fast and I already knew the wife could type much faster than me – but… well, you have to read the transcript.

    me: http://labs.jphantom.com/wpm/
    brown-eyed girl: 71 wpm, 91 wpm, 92 wpm
    me: well
    me: I was 67 wpm with 8 mistakes when I tried it
    brown-eyed girl: well
    brown-eyed girl: I kicked your ass!
    brown-eyed girl: 94 wpm, w/ 6 mistakes
    me: I think I might have to blog the “I kicked your ass!”
    brown-eyed girl: OOOO
    brown-eyed girl: 115!!!
    brown-eyed girl: and NO mistakes!
    me: show off
    brown-eyed girl: :-D
    brown-eyed girl: damn straight!
    brown-eyed girl: I can’t believe I bested the boy in something computer-related!!!
    brown-eyed girl: wow!!!

      Me: 96.61 wpm, 433.55 cpm with 3 mistakes on the text “sense, we can not dedicate we can not consecrate we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note,”. I pwn you both! :D

    • No, ‘fraid not. later in the im thread there she got 115 with no mistakes. She kicks both our arses.
