The Guiness Book of World Records
August 16, 2003
What is the longest song title? Who is the tallest living human being? What is the rarest stamp? The answers to these questions, and more, can be found at today's Family Site.
Called The Guinness Book of Records, this is a site that represents an organization that for years has recorded events and stunts from all over the world. The desire of human beings to be the fastest, or tallest, or have that smallest or largest of an item are the bread and butter of this group. At this site, you can find out about the latest record setting attempts and in what categories, search for existing records, find out the schedule of their television show, and suggest ideas for new categories or records.
This site is really interesting, one that you can spend an hour or two and be thoroughly entertained. By the way, the longest song title is a 1946 song by Hoagy Carmichael called "I'm a Cranky Old Yank in a Clanky Old Tank on the Streets of Yokohama with my Honolulu Mama Doing Those Beat-o, Beat-o, Flat on my Seat-o Hirohito Blues". Or it was the last time I looked. As for the other answers, you can find those for yourself at the site.

I would like to join in the Guinness book of World records. My entries is a chess puzzle. The puzzle is this, there is one horse, the horse move is to take all the 64 squares occupied by the pieces, in the chessboard. The position
of the horse is in the bottom left side corner
of the chessboard. The horse will take all the
64 squares occupied by the pieces, one at a time
or step by step. All the 64 squares occupied
by the pieces are all taken out, and nothing left remains the pieces, except for the horse
in the chessboard. I would like to know
if there is a prize, if my puzzle is accepted.
Also I would like to know whats the criteria
of the guinness book of World records, and how
to join on it. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Jose Reynaldo A. Teves

Are the same records printed in the book every time it is published, or are there different records in each edition? My grandfather's name was in one of the books as the first man in the world who had a car given to him by his company so that he could carry out his work, in other words, the very first company car. My father entered it some time before his death in 1994, and it was printed in the book. How would I find out in which year it was published?
hey this is a cool site lol

Hi, my name is Morgan.
I am writing on account of the board game "Monopoly." Me and my neighbor, which is also my best friend, love too play "Monopoly." We play just about everyday!!
We were playing the other day, and ofcourse my neighbor won. I ran out of money, the bank was out of money, SHE HAD ALL THE MONEY!!
Then I thought, I wonder if we broke a "Monopoly" world record.
I knew that it wasen't possible. There are a ton of people out there that are probably better then we will ever be!!
So that leaves it too why I am writing.
I am writing because I want too know some of the world records for the board game "Monopoly."
I have looked at many sights, and they all seem too say different things. That's why I am writing too you.
I hope you can help me!!
Please e-mail me and inform me on some of the "Monopoly" world records.
I thank you all very much!!
*I must get going, my neighbor is here and wants too play "Monopoly." LoL
Sincerly,

The paste is put on the palm and or on the forearms by delicate decoration. This decoration of palm/forearm is prevelant in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, SriLanka, Mombasa (Kenya)and most of the Gulf countries. The decoration remains on the palm/forearm for a period of 3 to 4 days. There are unharmful ingreidents used to make the paste.

At age 2 my family moved from Long Island N.Y. to California. We travelled with 5 children and my parents in the station wagon. I sat in the rear on my beloved pottie chair the entire 3000 mile trip. Not even my twin brother was allowed to take my place on my favorite spot.
I am sure this earns me a spot in the Guiness Book of World Records, especially since it gave me a very red bottom!

Me and my friends did a contest in school. We had to build a toothpick bridge with just toothpicks ans elmers glue. When we tested it we hung a bucket from it and filled the bucket to the brim. The bridge didn't budge. It held 41 pounds and we are going to retest it if we could get a Guiness representative down here to watch. We believe it could be a record.
Thandkfully and hopefully,

Hi, I am 12 years old and I think I made a world record for origami. Its a origami swan thats length is 3mm, and its width is 3mm. I think some one made one smaller, but they used a microscope and a sewing pin, and I just used my naked eye and my bare hands. I have made lots of origami swans big and little but this is the smallest one I've ever made, and it was so hard, so I hope that it could be noticed. Thank you for your time!
