Wow! What a load of… records.

Found this old thing while cleaning house. 1995 Guinness Records ranging from Geology, Animals, Humans, Science, Art, Entertainment, Sports and other assorted stuff.

Very interesting, or very boring, depending on your mood. I’m the latter. Totally outdated, and we have Google and Wikipedia now. I’m getting rid of it. Nice memories though.

PERSONAL NOTE :
[1995] [317p] [Non Fiction] [Not Recommendable]
[The Yo-yo records are cool]

Wow! Pero que cantidad de… records.

Encontré esta vieja cosa haciendo limpieza. Récords Guinness de 1995 variando desde Geología, Animales, Humanos, Ciencia, Arte, Entretenimiento, Deportes y otras variadas cosas.

Muy interesante, o muy aburrido, dependiendo de tu humor. Soy del último. Totalmente pasado de fecha, y ahora tenemos a Google y Wikipedia. Me voy a deshacer de él. Lindos recuerdos igual.

This is my favorite Guinness book. The way it is written and the neat design (without too many overly large pictures) and the very well done and informative index at the end are only a few reasons that make me prefer this one over the sequels from '98, '99, and '01.

We also have a really old edition of the book that I ought to check the date of - back when all the records were for things like tallest, heaviest, shortest, oldest, etc, without much of the weird stuff yet :P
