Record Breakers (TV show)

I'm not sure that the BBC show Record Breakers should be included in the list of Guinness spin offs. It was a BBC show, at a time when there were strict guidelines on tie-ins to commercial products in TV programming; the only real link was the presence of the McWhirters.

Most tattooed person

Is there a reason the world's most tattooed person is pictured in this article, other than a random arbitrary Guinness world record? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.225.17.141 (talk) 23:17, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Strange Penile Omission, Also, Heaviest Book?

Strange that their searchable website has a result for longest penile artificial/surgical extension, but not longest penis. Also, I was thinking how the Guinness Book is pretty heavy so I searched heaviest book and it doesn't seem to exist! -From Peter {a.k.a.

I don't think this talk should be on wikipedia, however, as an editor who tried to lookup Hypixel's record for Wikipedia, here's a good tip. The search webpage you linked does NOT list all records. If you want to perform an exaustive search, you need to create an account to GRW's website in order to use the "Record Application Search" webpage. 81.245.100.129 (talk) 16:39, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
