How? What? Huh?


I’m an avid reader of offbeat news, you can find some pretty amazing/crazy/weird stuff out there. Today, in my browsing - an article straight out of the Salt Lake Tribune:

SLC woman loses record-breaking fingernails in crash

The Guinness World Record for longest fingernails was broken Wednesday, so to speak.
The fingernails Salt Lake City resident Lee Redmond has been growing since 1979 were broken off in a four-car pileup Wednesday in Holladay, said Salt Lake County sheriff's spokesman Don Hutson.
Redmond was a passenger in one of the cars in the 1:30 p.m. crash. She and at least two others were taken to a hospital with minor injuries, Hutson said. She was ejected from the vehicle, Hutson said.
Redmond's nails were 33 inches long when The Tribune last interviewed her in 2007. She then was 66. In a 1995 article, she said she once turned down $10,000 to trim her nails on Japanese TV.

Remember the age-old game- “What’s Grosser than Gross?”
I’ve found it! Enjoy!
OH and if you get a minute, watch the video of her on Ellen DeGeneres, it's sooo funny! Ellen is funny!!! Pay attention, it gets SOO funny at 4:41!
