The world’s longest fingernails have met with a tragic end!! Lee Redmond who is 67 has been growing her talons since 1979. They are in the Guiness Book of records being 33in and she once turned down an offer of $10,000 to trim then on Japenese TV. Unfortuately last week she was involved in a pile up in Salt Lake City and whilst she had no serious injury every single nail broke.

Just imagine all the things she couldn’t do in the sacrifice of growing those!! Try get them in a pair of gloves to go and build snowmen, or ice skate, go-karting or horse riding, how did she wash her hair or stroke a cat? Now all she has built has ended in a tragic accident. It is a good job that all we are building will last for eternity. All our treasure is where rust and moths cannot destroy it, where car crashes can not break it!!
