An American woman listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the world's longest fingernails has had them broken off in a car crash.
Lee Redmond from Salt Lake City, Utah, had not cut her nails since 1979.
Their combined length was more than 28ft (8.5m), with the longest nail - on her right thumb - measuring 2ft 11in (89cm), Guinness said.
Ms Redmond suffered serious injuries in the crash, but is expected to make a full recovery

They looked freaky :P

[Ohi:D]

Loll, Oh well. They probs needed a cut anyway. Awkward in the shower? :S

hah what a shame

[Mathew]

OMG, THIS IS SO FREAKY.
I have had to design a movie poster for my media coursework and I did it last night. I used her nails and put them over a car. (I chose a different face). I also put her name at the top of the poster.

The most random thing you could think of and something strange happens!

[Crimson]

[Bun]

gonna save a fortune on nail polish.

[Immenseman]

i could hold this record in 40 years

[Jordy]

Nah bet she's thrilled, she's a celebrity for it and held the record for ages, I imagine they've stopped growing now and achieved everything she can. Although she suffered serious injuries this was an easy way to get rid of them for her, I imagine the emotional pain of cutting them off would of been difficult but now it's been done for her and she can move on (She's rather old now too).
