Tucked away in the corner of the bustling third-floor offices of Guinness World Records, you will find a fossilized sampling of the world's oldest vomit.Dating back some 160 million years, it shares a modest glass case with other record-breaking curiosities of the Guinness universe. For example, the size 29 running shoes, which were once the property of actor Matthew McGrory who had the largest feet of any living person. There's also a model of Toronto's CN Tower which, the last time Guinness's zealous researchers checked, was still the tallest of its kind in the world. And, of course, there's a copy of the biggest selling copyright book in history, which just happens to be the Guinness Book of World Records.
In the age of the Internet, this fact-packed compilation of the curious, the awesome and the incredible continues to make publishing history.
