Who is the most boastful person in the world?

In p>1759, a man named Arthur Guinness built a brewery on St James' Gate Street in Dublin, Ireland, producing a kind of beer with rich foam, mellow taste and dark color, which is Guinness Dark Beer.

by 1833, it had developed into the largest brewery in Ireland. In 1886, Arthur Guinness established a company in London. By the 193s, Guinness had two breweries in Britain, producing stout beer. "Guinness beer is good for your health", "Guinness beer keeps fit" and "My God! My Guinness! " Slogans can be seen everywhere. In the small bar called Pop, which can be seen everywhere in urban and rural areas, only Guinness beer is sold. Whenever night falls, people gather in this kind of pub, with a glass of "Guinness" in hand, which is the biggest and fastest in the world in Hu Kan ... But Guinness Company doesn't actually own any bars except the Castle Hotel in Humhop Rattan Farm, Baudieres, Sussex, so the company has been exploring development plans.

In p>1951, at a hunting party in Wexford, Ireland, Sir Hugh Beaver, the executive director of British kiness Beer Company, missed a golden pheasant, complaining that it was the fastest bird in the world. But his companion disagreed and had an argument with him. Beaver was enraged. He wanted to find arguments to support himself from books, but he was surprised to find that no book had made such a detailed description of the speed of birds. In 1954, there was another argument about whether grouse was faster than golden pheasant. Sir Hugh realized that people often encounter such problems in bars. If there is a book that can provide an answer to such arguments, it will not only help people find the basis for bragging, but also help people to get drunk and sell more wine, and the bar owner will benefit immensely. So, he decided to publish a book by his own company to record this "world's best".

Chris Chatterway was a record-breaking athlete who worked as a junior brewer at Guinness Park Royal Brewery in London. He recommended suitable people to compile books-his twin brothers Norris and Ross mcwhorter, whom he met at the sports meeting, were school sprinters at Oxford University. Mcwhorter brothers opened a data collection station in Fleet Street at that time. Mcwhorter brothers were born in August 1925, and they like to collect all kinds of anecdotes and strange things since childhood. The cooperation between them often makes experienced old reporters stunned. A reporter said: "Their brains are interconnected, just like transistor electronic computers. They can speak in a secret code that only they can understand. One person forgets something, and the other will definitely find it. " On September 12, 1954, Beaver met with the twin brothers, hoping that their statistical agencies in London could help him to compile the Guinness Book of World Records. So, a special group was set up at 17 Fleet Street in London, and intense compilation work began.

On August 27th, 1955, the printing factory completed the binding of the first Guinness Book of World Records. This 198-page booklet topped the British bestseller list before Christmas that year, because no company has collected, certified and provided such rich and authoritative information about world records. This book has 12 items, including sports, science, commerce, architecture, nature, etc., of which 1/4 is about sports. I didn't expect this Guinness Book of World Records to spread like wildfire, and its reputation far exceeded Guinness Dark Beer. The following year, the first American version was published, and soon it was published in French, German and Japanese.

The Guinness Book of World Records won by curiosity, which catered to the tastes of western readers and formed a kind of "Guinness Movement". Many people abroad are trying their best to create all kinds of bizarre records so that their names can be included in the book. The book itself is among the best in the world. In the British library, the most stolen book is the Guinness Book of World Records.

The English version of Guinness World Records has been published in more than 7 countries, and there are 22 non-English versions. At present, the global cumulative sales volume exceeds 95 million copies.

Guinness World Records also has its own museum. In 1978, the Guinness Museum in Gothenburg was first opened to the public. It is the earliest Guinness Museum still in operation. Here you can find the earliest items of the Beatles and other "the best in the world".

Guinness has made other achievements, such as "Guinness English Hit" which was first released in 1977, and now it has been released in the 13th edition. There is also the Guinness World Records TV, which has been broadcast since the 199s, and now it is broadcast in 35 countries around the world. Guinness Publishing Company has done more than just publish a book. Therefore, in July 1999, it was renamed "Guinness World Records Co., Ltd.".

Every year, thousands of people from all over the world apply for the Guinness Book of World Records. In 21 alone, 6, people applied for the records, and there are many successful people. At present, according to the statistical results of the application materials, the regions with the most applications are the United States, Britain, Australia and India.
