The famous
book “Guinness World Records” is a book which contains a collection of humans
or any natural thing records. It is the most sell book with copyright in the
world but it is also the most stoled in the USA libraries.
This book
appeared when, in 1951, Sir Hugh Beaver went hunting and his partners and he discussed about the fastest hunting bird in Europe. They thought that a book
could keep the answers to this type of questions. It was released on 27 August
1955.
Some
curious records are:
*The dog
with the biggest ears in the world.
The right ear measures 31, 7 cm and the
left
ear measures 34 cm.
*The
biggest violin in the world. It was created by a musical industry in Vogtlan,
Germany. They created a violin with 4, 2 meters high and 1, 23 meters wide. It
has a 5, 1 meters long bow, ¡seven times more than a normal violin! It takes
three people to play it.
The owner of this nails is Chris (she
receives
the name of “The countess”) and the measure
of the longest nail in the
right hand is 2,88 m,
and in the left hand it measures 3, 09.
*The man
with the biggest number of piercings
in his body. His name is Rolf Buchholz and
he
has 453 piercings in total. Only in his lips he
had 94 pearcings.
* And the
most recent record, which is in the mouth of almost all people at the moment is
the one which Felix Baumgartner stablished yesterday (It would be last Tuesday
but a strong wind prevented it). He set the world record for skydiving from more
than 39 kilometres high, reaching an estimated speed of 1,342 kilometres per
hour. He broke the sound barrier.

For
do this, he worked during five years and he got three of the four records
proposed (be the first person in overcome the speed of sound without mechanic
help, the highest parachute jump and up the balloon to the highest point. He
couldn’t do the longest free fall of the world).
We are talking about this man and what he did, but we don't know the story behind this sucess, it takes a lot of preparation and it isn't a simply jump.
With the words "born to fly" tattooed in his arm, Felix Baumgartner, an austrian man of 43 years old, has always dreamed in jump with parachutes and fly with helicopters. He made his first jump at the age of 16, and his skills improved after joining the Austrian army.
YOU CAN SEE A VIDEO WITH SOME OF THE BEST JUMPS OF THIS MAN HERE
We have seen in class the video of this jump, so I am going to put another one imitating this jump with Lego pieces.
Here are the questions:
1-How many people are needed for play the biggest violin of the world?
2-Can you say me a jump made by Felix Baumgartner which more impression made in you? (Mention another one, not the last one that made yesterday).
3-When was released the book "The Guinness World Records"?
4-Can you mention another record that you like?
Hello everybody!
ReplyDeleteI want to say to Blanca that I like so much her post. You had a very good idea but I was doing my post about Felix Baumgartner...But don't worry I have another idea :) So congratulations!
1. It takes three people to play it.
2. I like his jump number 3 in the video, 'Taipei 101 Base Jump'.
3. It was released on 27 August 1955.
4. I think the woman with world's longest tongue is very interesting and amusing. Here you have a photo.http://img1.noticias24.com/1109/179lenlar2.jpg
Goodbye class!
Hello!
ReplyDeleteLike Ana, I want to say to Blanca that it is a curious term to post in our blog. I like so much watch extrange records of other people
1) To play the biggest violin in the world, we need three people
2) I like the first fall that appears in the video. I think that it is really impresionant that a man can fly like a plane
3)Guinness World Record was released on 27 August 1955. The idea was created by a father and a son that went hunting and they wanted to know what was the fastest bird in Europe
4) I think that this record is difficult to do but the result is nice! http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2012/10/transitions-photo-mosaic-45421/

Hi class! Hi Blanca!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I want to say that this is a curious post, and very interesting, because with it, I could learn amazing data... I keep reading all time! However, I've to say that I don't believe some of them... For example, the woman with the biggest nails, OMG... 3 meters of nails?
1~ Three people were needed to play it. Amazing.
2~ I like very much one from the video you put. It is the jump from the top of the building ''Taipei 101''. It has 501 meters. It WAS the tallest building of the world. Right now, it's the Burj Khalifa.
But the jump that I like the most, is the jump from the monument ''Cristo Redentor'', in Brazil. I like this statue, and I heard yesterday, that he jumped from a finger... It should be very beautiful.
3~ It was released in 1955, on 27th August.
4~ I like very much a record made by a man named Donald. He ate 17 Big Macs (the famous menu of the fast-food restaurant 'McDonalds'). I suppose that he ends with a terrible stomach ache...
Congratulations Blanca, a very original post!
PS: A very beautiful video with Lego pieces... LOL

Good job, Blanca! Your partners will like the topic you've chosen. The video you includes is original and really funny. I usually pay attention to world records related to reading topics. Here you have two of them:
ReplyDelete-Deepak Sharma Bajgain, 23, has been included in the Guinness Book of World Record for reading continuously for 121 hours.
-Howard Berg is listed in the 1990 Guinness Book of World Records for reading more than 25,000 words a minute. The average person reads 200 words a minute.

3. This book appeared in 1951 and it was released on 27 August 1955.
4.One of the records that have impacted me most, was a Chinese man drinking a bottle of near-freezing water of 1.5 liters, in less than 4.88 seconds. Here you can see:
