... that today is Guinness Book of World Records Day? On this day in 1955, the famous Guinness Book of World Records was first published. Today, it sells about 3.5 million copies a year in twenty-three languages in a hundred countries. Trivia fans: The book's story began at a shooting party in Ireland in 1951, when the managing director of Guinness Brewery, Sir Hugh Beaver, found himself in an argument about whether or not the golden plover was Europe's fastest game bird.
Today's Inspirational Quote:
"Learn to adjust yourself to the conditions you have to endure, but make a point of trying to alter or correct conditions so that they are most favorable to you."
