Really long nails + car crash = really broken nails

You remember this woman? This is Lee Redmond, with the world's longest nails. Well, the poor thing was involved in an accident. Apparently her long nails do not prevent her from driving, and she was a passenger. But still, that must have absolutely sucked. It's bad enough being badly hurt. But to lose your carefully nurtured treasure of 30 years? That stinks. Btw, this is a record that an Indian dude used to hold (though his nails looked really REALLY ugly). Still,I bet Shridhar Chillal is laughing all the way back to the Guinness World Records Office right now...



Well, on the bright side,Lee Redmond can now finally wipe her ass much easier than before.

Update: A reader who has been assiduously following Shridhar Chillal's story tells me that he clipped his nails in 2000. That disappoints me on two fronts:
1. That's one less Indian in the record books, and
2. I somehow missed this important news event. Makes me feel less clued in than the above reader...
