The Guinness Book of Records has remained at the very top of the most read books in the world to this day.
On one occasion after the hunt, Hugh Beaver, director of the Irish brewery Guinness, had a heated argument with the hunters about which bird is the fastest of all European hunting birds - the golden jay or the partridge. Everyone was guessing, not knowing for sure the correct answer. He started searching the large library to find the answer.
At one point, he realized that it was impossible to determine which hunting bird was the fastest in Europe, whether it was a grouse or maybe a pheasant.
When he realized that there would be such and similar debates every night in 81,400 pubs across Ireland, Scotland and England, and that at the same time there was no book in the whole world that could help resolve such disputes, he decided to make a book that would deal with just this.
The Guinness Book of Records is full of various miracles, it is getting bigger every day. Not a day goes by that a new record is added to it.
Mexican Juan Pedro Franco, who entered the "Guinness Book of Records" with 595 kilograms three years ago as the heaviest man in the world, defeated the corona virus.
The diet and physical exercises, as well as the operation to reduce the stomach, obviously helped him in that, the 36-year-old Franco told AFP.
He lost 208 pounds, but years of diabetes, high blood pressure and chronic lung disease made it difficult to fight Covid.
Many of us have a fear of the needle, and this man broke the Guinness World Record. However, there are people who are not restrained by pain when there is a clearly defined goal in front of them. That is how Canadian Matej Menczik, 30 from Vancouver, otherwise addicted to tattoos and piercings, broke the record for the number of piercings on his body.
He endured more than 4,500 piercings during 8 hours of relentless stabbing. 4550 medical needles were pierced into the skin of his back and arms, thus breaking the previous record of the now not so impressive 650 needles.
Under the supervision of a professional team, he endured almost unbelievable pain, at one point he even wanted to give up.
More than 12,360 folklorists in folk costumes played a round today, October 4, 2015 in Novi Sad in the settlement "Novo naselje" and thus broke the Guinness record in playing the largest and longest round in the world! ... The largest round in the world developed and played on a route 6 kilometers long on the streets. The playing of the car was filmed from the ground as well as from the air by helicopter, in order for the commission for admission to the Guinness Book of Records from London to be convinced of the number of players and the uninterrupted length of the car. Each of the participants also had a bar code, and they were counted before the start of the round.
