Guinness World Records, also known as The Guinness Book of Records and The Guinness Book of World Records in earlier US editions, according to Wikipedia, is an annual reference book published in the United Kingdom.
The book lists world records for both human accomplishments and the extremes of the natural world. Norris and Ross McWhirter, twin brothers, and Sir Hugh Beaver collaborated to start the book on Fleet Street, London, in August 1955.
There are a variety of competitions, from the popular ones like Olympic weightlifting to the ones for throwing eggs the farthest or how many hot dogs can be ingested in three minutes while playing Grand Theft Auto IV for the longest period. In addition to competition records, it also lists information about the biggest tumour, the deadliest fungus, the longest-running soap opera, and the most expensive life insurance policy, among other things.
