The weirdest Guinness World Records Ever

The idea for the Guinness Book of World Records came out of an argument Sir Hugh Beaver, managing director of the Guinness Brewery, had on a hunting trip in the early 1950s. He wasn't able to find the answer to the fastest bird in any book.

Later, that inspired his plan for Guinness to write a book that would settle pub arguments. That first book, was published August 27, 1955.
