The Guinness Book of Records tells you about the world’s biggest dog, the world’s longest bridge, the world’s tallest building, etc. This year, the book celebrated its 60th anniversary. It first came out on August 27, 1955. The idea for the book came from the head of Guinness, a company in Ireland that makes beer. He had an argument with some hunters about the fastest game bird (a bird that is hunted for sport). He couldn’t find the answer anywhere, so he asked two sports writers to write a book to answer this kind of question. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
