Guinness World Records 2017

Hey guys, how's your Thursday?

I read this article on Metro the other day about the new Guinness World Records. There are some pretty funny and strange records apparently. Did any of you have a chance to read the book yet? (Or are you interested in such things?)

Apparently this is the world's tallest dog, 96.4cm tall. She eats sitting on a chair because she has trouble reaching the floor.

I spotted this one on the Guinness World Records website and I realised I've stopped for lunch where this monster truck was on display during my USA trip near Las Vegas. It's supposed to be the world's longest monster truck:

And then there's this longest fingernails ever (they're real and she's grown them since the 70s)

Guiness World Records don`t always get it right.

In a recent quiz on the Community, the question was posed:
Where is the tower with the greatest lean?

One member answered "Church of Suurhusen, Germany" without cheating by checking Guiness World Record. It wouldn`t have mattered if she had because that`s what Guinness World Records says and it is wrong.

The tower with the greatest lean is the keep of Bridgnorth Castle, Shropshire, here in the UK (as verified by the Bridgnorth tourist board and other sources).

Some people see things as they are and ask "Why?"; I dream of things that never were and ask "Why not?"

Yes that was me. I was a bit cocky as well... as I was positive I was right. Duh Me!

There you go ...I always say every day is a school day on here. (I am right about that!)
