Children love the Guinness
Book of World Records because it helps them to orient themselves in this world which is still relatively new to
them. What better way to get a handle on things, than to learn the extremes
between which all other cases occur? So, how tall is the tallest man? I will
have to contend with no taller man than he. How short is the shortest man? I
need to know. Fastest vehicle? Heaviest meteorite? If I can slake my curiosity
with information on the fastest, the heaviest, the biggest, the smallest, and
all the other superlatives that come to mind, then I’ll have a better idea of
the parameters of just what I can anticipate out there. And if I want to distinguish
myself by setting a record of my own, what are the numbers I need to beat?
This, too, the GBOWR can answer.
