January 2, 2008 · 6 Comments

As usual..Klo lagi pulang ke Jkt pasti hari terakhir di rumah gw disuruh tdr di kamar nyokap bareng gowa (adek gw) jg.. Jadi ada gw..gowa..dan mama tentunya.. Trus si papa jadi ngungsi ke kamar Gowa deh..

Pas lagi bincang2 sebelum tdr..tiba2 tercium bau yang sangat tidak sedap yang dapat dipastikan sebagai BAU KENTUT!! Usut punya usut ternyata mama yg kentut..bner2 diam2 menghanyutkan deh… Trus si Gowa nyeletuk “Ma, bisa masuk Guinness Book of Record niy bau kentutnya!!” hahahahhaa.. Langsung pada ngakak semua deh.. (Maaf ya ma for telling your shame..hehe)

Nah.. ngomong2 Guinness Book of Records.. gw jadi kepikiran.. Itu dipopulerkan oleh pengusaha bir ber-merk Guinness kah??

Guinness Beer vs Guinness Book of Record

Pas nyari2 di Wiki,, ternyata bner.. Jadi buku ini tuh muncul dari ide salah satu direktur Guinness Brewery th 1951. Begini kutipannya (males translate..hehe) :

On 10 November 1951, Sir Hugh Beaver, then the managing director of the Guinness Brewery, went on a shooting party in North Slob, by the River Slaney in County Wexford, Ireland. He became involved in an argument: which was the fastest game bird in Europe, the golden plover or the grouse? That evening at Castlebridge House, he realized that it was impossible to confirm in reference books whether or not the golden plover was Europe’s fastest game bird.[2]

Beaver thought that there must be numerous other questions debated nightly in the 81,400 pubs in Britain and Ireland, but there was no book with which to settle arguments about records. He realized then that a book supplying the answers to this sort of question might prove popular.

Beaver’s idea became reality when Guinness employee Christopher Chataway recommended student twins Norris and Ross McWhirter, who had been running a fact-finding agency in London. The brothers were commissioned to compile what became The Guinness Book of Records in August 1954. One thousand copies were printed and given away.[3]

After founding the Guinness Book of Records at 107 Fleet Street, the first 198-page edition was bound on 27 August 1955 and went to the top of the British best seller lists by Christmas. “It was a marketing give away—it wasn’t supposed to be a money maker,” said Beaver. The following year it launched in the U.S., and it sold 70,000 copies.

After the book became a surprise hit, many further editions were printed, eventually settling into a pattern of one revision a year, published in October to coincide with Christmas sales. The McWhirters continued to publish it and related books for many years. Both brothers had an encyclopedic memory — on the TV series Record Breakers, based upon the book, they would take questions posed by children in the audience on various world records, and would usually be able to give the correct answer. Ross McWhirter was assassinated by the Provisional Irish Republican Army in 1975. Following McWhirter’s assassination, the feature was called “Norris on the Spot”.

Nah…berhubung ternyata buku itu laku ampe sekarang,, makanya jadilah terus diproduksi dengan berbagai rekor2 baru.. Sampe pake ada acara tv-nya segala gtu..

Trus2…tdi lagi googling gambar guinness book, gw menemukan record yg aneh.. jadilah gw upload di sini :
