30-40 years ago the Guiness book was actually useful - it listed 'records'
that people might actually think were worth looking up.

It's now mostly a listing of 'can you believe this' blurbs which appear in 
one years issue, and are never again listed. Things like 'Most tasteless
joke'.

These days, it's close kin to Ripley's 'Believe it or Not'.
