Christmas Gift Idea for Men
My husband seems to know a lot of useless facts – which end up being really quite interesting. Most of which have come from something he came across the internet or something he read in the paper. But now he has a new method to add to his unlimited amount of facts – the Guinness World Records 2010 Book.
The hard covered Guinness World Records 2010 book, comes complete with 287 coloured pages worth of amazing, odd, fascinating and just plain stupid world records. You will find interesting facts like, the most amount of dogs getting married at one time, the ever popular longest fingernails, and the fastest 1/2 marathon – with a stroller. Nearly each Guinness Book of World Records has a picture of the record holder, and in some cases also mentions when the record was attempted to be broken, but was not.
The Guinness World Records 2010 book is well laid out with sections such as Planet Earth, The Body, Animals, Arts & Media and sports just to name a few. There is also a an introduction in the first page of “Firsts”, for example, did you know the first email was sent in 1971?!? There is also an unbreakable section that lists many records that are unlikely to be broken, for example, the largest diamond is 3,106 carats and was found in 1905 – imagine carrying that on your finger.
If you want to become a record breaker, there is also a detailed section that has a step by step guide on how to be a part of the Guinness World Records.
The Guinness World Records 2010 is a very fun book, you will learn so many crazy and amazing things that have happened around the world – some are unbelievable, while others are just plain strange. But overall, it will create lots of conversation and makes a great coffee table book.
I gave the Guinness World Records book to my brother-in-law a few years ago as a Christmas gift, and he spent lots of time sifting through the pages telling us all about the crazy things people have done. Men seem to love this sort of thing, because as soon as this book made it into our home, my husband was doing the same thing.

How in the world does that woman do anything with those fingernails?!?!?!?! How can she sleep? Eat? Brush her hair? Wash her hair? I am so confused!!!
Was that woman supposed to get them off on the Ellen show,
anyways please count me in on this super giveaway.
My 14 year old grandson loves the Guinnes Book of World Records (only book he reads) and his mom has given him one for Christmas every year for at least 4 years now.
