The pair, while an unlikely duo, got along surprisingly
well during their two-day visit, according to Pearl’s
owner, Vanesa Semler.

"For me, [it] was a huge, pleasant surprise from day
one because Reggie is like Pearl in [a] bigger size,"
Semler said. "He is so gentle, so friendly."

Reggie’s owner, Sam Johnson Reiss, said the Great
Dane is more of a people person but enjoyed the
playdate.

SAN ANTONIO (WOAI/KABB) — Legacy Traditional School in
Alamo Ranch is on a mission to break a Guinness World
Record using 42,000 Lego bricks.

The school began its ambitious project earlier this week,
aiming to surpass the previous record by more than 22,000
bricks. The effort involves a team of four builders, including
the school’s principal, two district representatives, and a
current Lego world record holder.

To ensure the attempt is official, two witnesses must be
present at all times, as per Guinness World Records
guidelines.

NEW YORK (AP) — A Nigerian chess champion and child
education advocate played chess nonstop for 60 hours in
New York City’s Times Square to break the Guinness World
Record for the longest chess marathon.

Tunde Onakoya, 29, hopes to raise $1 million for children’s
education across Africa through the record attempt that
began on Wednesday.

He had set out to play the royal game for 58 hours but
continued until he reached 60 hours at about 12:40 a.m.
Saturday, surpassing the current chess marathon record
of 56 hours, 9 minutes and 37 seconds, achieved in 2018
by Norwegians Hallvard Haug Flatebø and Sjur Ferkingstad.

The Guinness World Record organization has yet to publicly
comment about Onakoya’s attempt. It sometimes takes weeks
for the organization to confirm any new record.

On August 27, 1955, the first edition of “The Guinness Book of
Records” was published in Great Britain; it quickly proved to
be a hit. Now known as the “Guinness World Records” book,
the annual publication features a wide range of feats related
to humans and animals.

The inspiration for the record book can be traced to Sir Hugh
Beaver, managing director of the Guinness Brewery in Dublin.

(Fox News) – A nearly 27-year-old cat from England has been
named the world’s oldest living cat by Guinness World Records

.

Flossie, the record-breaking feline, received verification from
the world record reference guide, on Nov. 10, according to a
press release. 

Guinness World Records says Flossie was born on Dec. 29, 1995,
and she received her verification at the "nyan-tastic age of 26
years 316 days."

The world record guide claims Flossie’s age is "equivalent" to
about "120 human years."

The British brown and black cat received official recognition from Guinness World Records on Thursday.
