Impressive..

However, just to add a bit more to it, keep in mind, that's how fast Dick Dale actually strums.

This also works using both ends of a spoon held in your right hand. Don't even need a partner. So much easier than learning to use a pick that fast.

Is it me or is Dick Dale playing the guitar upside-down?

He's a lefty. From Wikipedia:

"Since Dale was left-handed he was initially forced to play a right-handed model, much like Jimi Hendrix would do a few years later. However, he did so without restringing the guitar, leading him to effectively play the guitar upside-down (while Hendrix would restring his guitar) and often plays by reaching over the fretboard rather than wrap his fingers up from underneath. Even after he acquired a proper left-handed guitar, Dale continued to use his reverse stringing."

ah, the 'ol pencil tremolo, proving that the guitar is technically a percussive instrument, not a string instrument.

The guitar is most definitely a string instrument, but like the piano, it's also a percussive instrument. There's no reason it can't be both. The definition of "string instrument" doesn't really have anything to do with how the strings are vibrated, just that the sound is generated by them.

Dick Dale is really one of those guys whose Wikipedia article you read and then feel slightly inferior.

He met Leo Fender the guitar and amplifier Guru and Leo asked Dale to play his newly creation, the Fender Stratocaster Electric Guitar. The minute Dale picked up the guitar, Leo Fender broke into uncontrolled laughter and disbelief, he was watching Dale play a right handed guitar upside down and backwards, Dale was playing a right handed guitar left handed and changing the chords in his head then transposing the chords to his hands to create a sound never heard before.

Leo Fender gave the Fender Stratocaster along with a Fender Amp to Dale and told him to beat it to death and tell him what he thought of it. Dale took the guitar and started to beat it to death, and he blew up Leo Fender's amp and blew out the speaker. Dale proceeded to blow up forty nine amps and speakers; they would actually catch on fire.
