<p>But for David Rush in the United States, the rivalry with his siblings has meant something else. Rush holds 180 concurrent Guinness World Records and that has to do with sibling rivalry.</p>

<p>Kevin, a great dane from Iowa who was the tallest male dog in the world passed away on Monday (June 24), leaving his owners in mourning.</p>

<p>According to a statement released on Monday by Guinness World Records, which formally certified the great dane as the world's tallest dog in March, Kevin, age three, passed away after becoming unwell and after an unexpected operation.</p>

<p>In a statement, Kevin’s co-owners, Tracy and Roger Wolfe said, “He was just the best giant boy".</p>

<p>"We are so glad that he was able to break the record and have that light on him. He absolutely adored the attention. I wish these giant breeds, and all dogs, could live longer than they do. It’s never enough time,” the statement read.</p>

<p>From his feet to his withers, or the ridge between his shoulder blades, Kevin measured 3 feet 2 inches (0.97 metres).</p>

<p>According to Guinness World Records, it made him eight inches taller than the typical male great dane and around the same height as many toddlers.</p>

<p>After fellow American great dane Zeus passed away six months prior, the canine took the distinction of the tallest live male dog in the world, according to Guinness.</p>

<p>Zeus, who was three years old when he passed away, was 3 feet, 5.18 inches (1.046 meters) tall when he had a deadly bout of pneumonia and had his right front limb amputated as a result of fighting bone cancer.</p>

<p>In an interview with Guinness World Records that was released on June 13th, the Wolfes discussed how Kevin would pretend he was unaware of his size when he was living in West Des Moines, Iowa, with the married couple, their two small children, and a number of other dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and horses.</p>

<p>Kevin, who took his name after the main character in the Home Alone movie series, was well-known for being "terrified of" the vacuum cleaner in the house.</p>

<p>During that interview, Tracy Wolfe expressed amazement at Kevin's ability to maintain a trim figure while consuming up to 10 cups of food every day and resting for much of the day. “Kevin is just the epitome of a gentle giant. He was … just perfect for us.”</p>

<p>A 16-year-old Indian student created a world record for the longest dance marathon by an individual.

<p>Srushti broke the previous record of 126 hours set by Nepalese dancer Bandana Nepal in 2018.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Srushti's dance marathon took place in her college's auditorium, which was "jam-packed with supporters," according to Guinness World Record's Official Adjudicator Swapnil Dangarikar.</p>

With help of yogic sleep, Indian 16-year-old dances for 127 hours in new world record

<p>Any weightlifter will be proud of an attempt of 129.5 kg but imagine lifting the weight with just one finger. It may sound absolutely impossible but Steve Keeler from the United Kingdom has achieved that exact feat. The professional martial artist broke the world record for heaviest single-finger deadlift – a record that stood for 10 years. He attempted the feat in Ashford, Kent, in February 2022 and was able to lift 129.5 kg with just the middle finger of his right hand. The record was officially accepted by the Guinness Book of World records which posted about it on their official website.</p>

<p>The attempt by Keeler involved six iron discs – one weighing 10 kg, one weighing 20 kg, three weighing around 25 kg each, and one weighing slightly more than 26 kg. The discs were stacked together with a hook that was used by Keeler to complete the world record attempt.</p>

<p>"It's incredibly painful, but my fingers are strong, and I am proud of my lift," Keeler told the Guinness Book of World Records website. The website also said that Keeler is 48 years old and has been “practicing strength training for the last four years”. Keeler has been a practitioner of both judo and karate since he was 18 and that was a huge advantage for him while attempting the world record.</p>

Fox Terrier called Pebbles becomes world's oldest dog at more than 22 years old

<p>A paper plane is something that almost everyone has tried to make as a kid. It is quite common for kids to make paper planes and even compete among themselves to see whose plane can go the furthest. However, even in their wildest imagination, they would not have imagined that it can travel a distance of almost 80 metres. The number may sound unbelievable, but it is now a reality as South Korea’s Kim Kyu Tae created a world record for the farthest flight of a paper aircraft.</p>

<p>Kyu Tae was supported by compatriot Shin Moo Joon and Malaysia’s Chee Yie Jian/Julian as the paper aircraft created by them covered an impressive distance of 252 feet and seven inches (77.134 m). The record was officially recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records this week.</p>

<p>According to the Guinness Book of World Records, they broke the record once held by Joe Ayoob and paper airplane designer John M. Collins of the United States since 2012.</p>

<p>They even posted a video of the feat along with the caption - “Farthest flight of a paper aircraft: 77.134 m (252 ft 7 in) by Kim Kyu Tae🇰🇷. With the support of Shin Moo Joon (South Korea) and Chee Yie Jian/Julian (Malaysia) AKA “Shin Kim Chee Team,” says the caption of the video.</p>

<p>The trio had their own set of expertise with Shin folding the aircraft, Chee coming up with the design and Kim throwing it in the official attempt.</p>

A paper plane is something that almost everyone has tried to make as a kid. It is quite common for kids to make paper planes and even compete among themselves to see whose plane can go the furthest.

A paper plane is something that almost everyone has tried to make as a kid. It is quite common for kids to make paper planes and even compete among themselves to see whose plane can go the furthest. However, even in their wildest imagination, they would not have imagined that it can travel a distance of almost 80 metres. The number may sound unbelievable, but it is now a reality as South Korea’s Kim Kyu Tae created a world record for the farthest flight of a paper aircraft. Kyu Tae was supported by compatriot Shin Moo Joon and Malaysia’s Chee Yie Jian/Julian as the paper aircraft created by them covered an impressive distance of 252 feet and seven inches (77.134 m). The record was officially recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records this week.

Collins of the United States since 2012. They even posted a video of the feat along with the caption - “Farthest flight of a paper aircraft: 77.134 m (252 ft 7 in) by Kim Kyu Tae🇰🇷. With the support of Shin Moo Joon (South Korea) and Chee Yie Jian/Julian (Malaysia) AKA “Shin Kim Chee Team,” says the caption of the video. The trio had their own set of expertise with Shin folding the aircraft, Chee coming up with the design and Kim throwing it in the official attempt.

<p>Mcdonald's is a fast-food major across the world. There are millions of fans of its burgers worldover. The fast-food giant does have its own share of critics due to negative effects of fast food on health. But this man would certainly not be one of McD opponents.</p>

<p>Donald&nbsp;Gorske, an American man, is celebrating 50 years of his unique affair with the brand. The Wisconsin resident has eaten a whopping 32,340 Big Macs as of last August, says Guinness Book of World Records (GWR).</p>

<p>The huge tally means that Gorske has been eating at least one Big Mac a day.</p>

<p>Gorske marked the 50-year anniversary by eating a Big Mac at the local McDonald's in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.</p>

<p>The outlet even commemorated Don's 50-year association with the brand by putting up a board outside the outlet.</p>

<p>“Congrats Don on 50 years of Macs.” read the board. The outlet even removed the letter D-O-N from McDonald's sign for Don's name to feature in it.</p>

Mcdonald's is a fast-food major across the world. There are millions of fans of its burgers worldover. The fast-food giant does have its own share of critics due to negative effects of fast food on health. But this man would certainly not be one of McD opponents. Donald Gorske, an American man, is celebrating 50 years of his unique affair with the brand. The Wisconsin resident has eaten a whopping 32,340 Big Macs as of last August, says Guinness Book of World Records (GWR). The huge tally means that Gorske has been eating at least one Big Mac a day. Gorske marked the 50-year anniversary by eating a Big Mac at the local McDonald's in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. The outlet even commemorated Don's 50-year association with the brand by putting up a board outside the outlet. “Congrats Don on 50 years of Macs.” read the board. The outlet even removed the letter D-O-N from McDonald's sign for Don's name to feature in it.
