These Guinness World Records may be unusual but they are all very real and showcase some interesting talents.

How was Guinness Book of Records started? It all happened in May 1951. Sir Hugh Beaver, then the managing director of the Guinness Breweries, was involved in an argument on a party in a bar. The argument was about which was the fastest bird in Europe. Sir Beaver realized that there was no book which allowed settling arguments about records, and he thought that a book of this kind might become popular.

The first 197-page edition of The Guinness Book of Records was published on August 27, 1955. It quickly flew to the top of the British bestseller lists by Christmas. Since then about 400 million Guinness World Record copies were published. The most recent one is scheduled to be released in 2011. Let’s see what world records it will show.

Smallest Car

Made by British inventor Perry Watkins, this car has become the smallest car in the world. It measures just 41 inches high, 51 inches long and 26 inches wide.

Meet Francisco Domingo Joaquim from Angola. He was given the title of the 'World's Widest Mouth' by Guinness World Records. No wonder, his mouth is 6.69 inches wide and can fit in a Coca-Cola can sideways. It’s just crazy.

Don’t forget to look the video.

Edit: These guys met on a website for tall people. The total height of these two persons makes 4 meters 9 cm. They may shortly appear in Guinness World as the tallest couple in the world.

You’re looking at Ukrainian Igor Vovkovinskiy while he’s sitting, nothing special, you may think, but you’ll see the difference when he is up…
