Woman's Record Long Fingernails are Broken

[The Critic]

Quote:
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Utah woman listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for her long fingernails has lost them in a car crash. Lee Redmond of Salt Lake City sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries in the accident Tuesday.

Redmond's nails, which hadn't been cut since 1979, were broken in the crash. According to the Guinness Web site, her nails measured a total of more than 28 feet long in 2008, with the longest nail on her right thumb at 2 feet, 11 inches.

Salt Lake County Sheriff's Lt. Don Hutson says Redmond was ejected from an SUV in the crash and taken to the hospital in serious condition.

Redmond has been featured on TV in episodes of "Guinness Book of World Records" and "Ripley's Believe It or Not."

I bet she wasn't wearing her seat belt because she was incapable of fastening it herself.

Seriously. How could you really do anything with nails that long? No wonder the car crashed, having 3 foot long fingernails would make driving a real PITA.

Didn't Chinese Emperors start this to show they were so powerful that they did not have to work?
The long nails proved that manual labor was not possible.

I assume this woman was useless to her husband for many functions, as well.

I dunno

I imagine that there could be some immobilizing apparatus that could be employed.

Looks like she made herself useful in the kitchen

That's about as disgusting as anything I've seen in awhile. Go ahead and call me mori, but that's just unsanitary!

 

[Gary Allan]

Well, maybe she was really trying to stop the bad habit of picking her nose ..scratching ..stuff like that..

Not insane... crafty! What job can one do with all that junk hanging in the way? She probably sits around all day watching soap operas like Peg Bundy. Can't even do dishes or cook. (I will stand corrected if one provides video!)

[Pablo]

[Audi Junkie]

Gross. Even grosser is the scene from J^ckass 2.5 with the guy from India w/the longest nails. I've already said too much.

 

[Geonerd]

I'm not easily squicked, but this story really gives me the willies!

Even in her younger pictures she looks half wacked out with that creepy Stepford smile.

Run away, run away!

 

[sprintman]

Phugliest thing I have ever seen. To gross to contemplate.

No, she is the mori.

 

[asiancivicmaniac]

Put her in a costume and she almost looks demonic.

 

[Pablo]

Almost?

 

[ARB1977]

How does she wipe herself?
