I discovered this short ago about how the Guiness World Records was made. This story began in the 4rth of May of 1951 in the city of Dublin, Ireland. Sir Hugh Beaver was the managing director of Guiness Breweries when he went to a shooting party in a county in Ireland. He started to fight in an argument which was debating whether which game bird was the fastest in Europe. The golden plover or the grouse. He investigated in many reference books throughout Ireland and the UK and found no answer. Beaver knew their were many records which were heavily disputed throughout the UK and Ireland and many of them did'nt have an answer.
He then hired hired the fact-finding agency in London to make a book about world records. Beaver named the book the Guiness Book of Records in August 1954 in name of the brewery founded by Arthur Guiness. Since then, these books have been printed year after year and in dozens of languages.
