Virgo, August 27. Regardless of the place that those born on August 27 occupy in life, they are always ready to come to the aid of an ordinary person, a loser who has suffered a defeat.

Many of them, having felt the injustice of the world around them, constantly wonder what can be improved.

Wanting to change their habitat, they often achieve great success.

Although born on August 27, perhaps, it is difficult to suspect of selfishness, their activities are still far from disinterested. They will never demand payment for their services, but if their actions are ignored, those born on this day will forever lose interest in the person for whom they tried so hard.

Main event

The Guinness Book of Records was published 

August 27, 1955

The history of The Guinness Book of Records began in 1951.

At one high-society English party there was a comic dispute about which of the European birds is flying faster than everyone: a golden plover or a Scottish partridge.

One of the participants in this dispute, Sir Hugh Beaver, returning home, suddenly decided to collect information on all sorts of non-standard records, such as competitions on the speed of bird flights and publish a book about it. It was decided to call it "Guinness", in honor of the ancient family name of the family of Sir Hugh.

To prepare the publication in London, a special agency was created that registered various curious achievements. Work on the book was entrusted to the owners of one of the information agencies - the brothers Norris and Ross McWirthers. In the process of collecting information, numerous facts about the set of records were examined and evidence of authoritative experts was collected about their authenticity.

As a result, on August 27, 1955, the first edition of the "Guinness" with a volume of 198 pages was released. "Guinness Book of Records" began to be called the subsequent editions.

The first "Book" immediately became one of the bestsellers of the year. The next Christmas, she already topped the list of British bestsellers. Since then, this reference publication annually records information about outstanding achievements of people and animals, unique phenomena and oddities in nature and human society.

So, for example, on August 27, 1994, the experts from Guinnesse recorded a record range of spitting cherry bones - 28.98 m, made by a certain Horst Ortmann in the city of Langenthal (Germany).

Today, the Guinness Book of Records, published annually in excess of 80 million copies in 40 languages, is sold in more than 100 countries around the world.
