W: Where can you look if you want to know how tall the tallest person in the world is, or who the oldest person in the world is? There is only one place where you’ll find all these information, and that’s in the Guinness Book of World Records. This morning we have someone from the Guinness Company that produced that
famous book, Thomas Manning.
Welcome to the program, Thomas!
M: Thanks, Sue. It’s a pleasure to be here.
W: Perhaps you could start by telling us where the idea for the book came from.
M: Well, it was first suggested in the early 1950s. Sir Hugh Beaver, the managing
director of Guinness, was out shooting birds with some friends. A bird flew away so quickly that no one was able to shoot it. Sir Hugh wondered whether this bird was the fastest bird in Europe, and if it wasn’t the fastest, he wondered what was.
W: So I suppose he went to the nearest
library to look for the information and he
couldn’t find it?
M: Yes, that’s exactly what happened. And this made Sir Hugh think there must be other people in the same situation who wanted this kind of information. He thought that, like himself, people would be interested in finding facts of all records to satisfy their curiosity.”
W: So the idea for a book of records was born. And when did the first book come out?
M: A few years later, in 1955. So, to ask your first question: the tallest person in the world is 231.7cm tall. And the oldest person is Jeanne. L. Calment, who was born in February, 1875.
W: There are also some rather strange records, aren’t there, Thomas?
M: Yes, that’s right. Did you know, Sue, that the shortest time it is taken …
