Did you read the book Guinness World Records(《吉尼斯世界纪录》)before? From the world's heaviest person and the oldest woman to the world's smallest dog, there are all parts of the strangest (最奇怪的) people and things. And they are all in the Guinness World Records. It's always one of the best-selling books in the world. People now can break over 1,000 records every week.
Why do so many people want to break records? "It gives people a chance to show they're the best in the world." said one of the record keepers Stewart Newport. The book was started by Hugh Beaver from the United Kingdom. In 1951, he went shooting birds and talked with his friends about the fastest bird in Europe. Three years, they started a book to record the world's greatest people and things in it. One of the books came out on Tuesday. There are twelve parts in this book. It talks about the natural world, people's achievements, sports and other things.
This book has a lot of interesting records. Here are two. The world's smallest dog is only 10cm long. An American woman has the longest fingernails. They grew as long as 600m.
