About Guinness World Records
Guinness World Records, known from its inception in 1955 until 1999 as The Guinness Book of Records and in previous United States editions as The Guinness Book of World Records, is a British reference book published annually, listing world records both of human achievements and the extremes of the natural world. Sir Hugh Beaver created the concept in order to settle arguments debated in pubs, and twin brothers Norris and Ross McWhirter co-founded the book in London in late August 1955.

This is a limo which is Guinness World Records certified as the longest car in the world and it's built by a man called Jay Orberg who lives in America and is one of the great car makers for movies that there's ever been. He's the man behind the DeLorean in Back to the Future.

He was 31 years and 160. 65 days, which is 220 in human years. Yeah. There was someone at the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons who said, not a single one of my veterinary colleagues believes Bobby was actually 31 years old. He was in the Guinness World Records, but I think, generally speaking, people don't think it was him. Quite a lot of the pictures of him have different coloured paws. Funny.

Yeah. Yeah. Not typically regularly. Apparently this is according to John Jenk, who is the Guinness World Records greatest arm wrestler of all time. He says that the people who break their arms tend to be beginners because you get incredibly strong when you're starting out arm wrestling, but you haven't actually built up kind of the bone and tendon resilience. You don't know your own strength. You break your own arm.
