The house of cards , the longest tongue , and of course , the man : these are among the thousands records logged in the famous Guinness Book of Records . Created in 1955 after a debate concerning Europe's fastest game bird , what began as a marketing tool sold to pub landlords to promote Guinness , an Irish drink , became the bestselling copyright title of all time ( a category that excludes books such as the Bible and the Koran ) . In time , the book would sell 120 million copies in 100 countries ? quite a leap from humble beginnings
In its early years , the book set its sights on satisfying man's innate curiosity about the natural world around him . Its two principal fact finders , twins Norris and Ross McWhirter , scoured the globe to collect empirical facts . It was their task to find and document aspects of life that can be sensed or observed , things can be quantified or measured . But not just any things . They were only interested in superlatives : the biggest and the best . It was during this period that some of the hallmark Guinness Records were documented , answering such questions as " What is the brightest star ? " and " What is the biggest spider ? "
Once aware of the public's thirst for such knowledge , the book's authors began to branch out to cover increasingly obscure , little - known facts . started documenting human achievements as well . A forerunner for reality television , the Guinness Book gave people a chance to become famous for accomplishing eccentric , often pointless tasks . Records were set 1955 for consuming 24 raw eggs in 14 minutes and in 1981 for the fastest solving of a Rubik's Cube ( which took a mere 38 seconds ) . 1979 a man yodeled non - stop for and a quarter hours .
In its latest incarnation , the book has a new home on the internet . No longer restricted to the confines of physical paper , the Guinness World Records website contains seemingly innumerable facts concerning such topics as the most combustion engine , or the world's longest train . What is striking , however , is that such facts are found sharing a page with the record of the heaviest train to be pulled with a beard . While there is no denying that each of these facts has its own , individual allure , the represents a significant deviation from the education - oriented facts of earlier editions . Perhaps there is useful to be gleaned regarding the tensile strength of a beard , but this seems to cater to an audience more interested in seeking entertainment than education .
Originating as a simple bar book , the Guinness Book of Records has evolved over decades to provide insight into the full spectrum of modern life . And although one may be more now to learn about the human mouth than the number of casualties in a single battle of the Civil , the Guinness World Records website offers a telling glimpse into the future of fact - finding and recordrecording .
