The Guiness Book of Records

1 Conversation

The Guiness Book of Records is another of those institutions that's just there. Known about world-wide and accepted without a glance at how it started. The unofficial start was the result of countless pub brawls over pints of Guiness in Ireland, which led to blood on splintered wood. All as a result of disagreements about who was the biggest, fastest, bestest at this that and the other in the whole wide world. Research was done and a book started to solve the disputes and save lives. The rest is history.
