A double back-spin on a motorcycle...ane elephant with a wooden leg...an apple the size of your head...it's just another year at the Guinness World Records!

Itâ€™s another year of amazing record breakers from Guinness World Recordsâ„¢ 2008. Now the worldâ€™s most popular book offers more diversity than ever, from epic endeavors in science and technology, entertainment, and sports to the exceptional wonders of the natural and man-made world. Discover the incredible facts of life on Earthâ€”and beyondâ€”as never before. Did you knowâ€¦

The largest commercially available burger is 78lb. 8 oz., available at Bobâ€™s BBQ and Grill at Pattaya Beach in Chonbur, Thailand. It costs $23.95 and anyone who can finish it within three hours receives a refund, their name on a plaque, and a gift certificate for a future visit. To date, the fastest finishing is eight hours.

And thatâ€™s just a taste of whatâ€™s inside this extraordinary book, filled with stunning photos, exclusive interviewsâ€”and information about how to become a record breaker yourselfâ€¦.
