Seven-metre fingernails win place in book of recordsInline Image:

Redmond, 65, earned an entry in the latest edition of Guinness World Records with the world's longest fingernails that have now reached a resplendent 24 feet 7 inches (7.51 metres).
Redmond, who is from Utah, shares a centre spread in Guinness 2007, released on Thursday, with the proud purveyors of the world's stretchiest skin, narrowest waist and longest ear hair alongside a woman who can pop her eyeballs 11 millimetres ( 0.43 inches) out of their sockets.
Redmond, who started growing her fingernails 27 years ago, has a meticulous routine to keep them in tip-top condition.
"I clean them with a toothbrush when they get dirty and always keep them manicured," she said. Every day she treats them with warm olive oil and nail hardener.
However, the lifespan of her phenomenal talons is drawing to a close.
"I am going to have to take them off in November as I am looking after my husband who is suffering from Alzheimer's," she explained.
She still manages to shave her husband daily, but has to sleep on her side and rest her hands on the bed with her nails hanging off the edge.
She has attracted some unusual admirers over the years and was once offered money to have her nails nibbled. The prospective buyer suggested that he buy by the inch.
When asked the inevitable question about how on earth she goes to the toilet, Redmond said: "Very carefully."

Up!
Over!
The other way!
Down!
Up!
Over!
Ahh. That's the spot...
Also, do they add the total length of her nails together? Cause none of those nails are anywhere near 7 meters.
Ans I still think the Indian(dot) guy has her beat based on the times I've seen him.

Germs Are Transferred Through Your Fingernails
When we think of diseases being transferred from person to person, we conjure up images of people sneezing or coughing on each other. We picture germs hurtling out of people's mouths and noses and rocketing through the air right into our own noses or mouths to infect us. A frightening picture, but one that we need not worry about, because relatively few germs become airborne, and fewer still actually bother us.
Germs aren't hurtled at us by coughs and sneezes. They're handed to us during routine-and intimate -physical contact. Germs are handed to us because human hands-especially under the nails-are a cornucopia of germs. If you take samples from various parts of the hands you'll see that while there are tens, hundreds, thousands of germs on the backs and palms of the hands and on the fingers, there are tens of millions, sometimes hundreds of millions of germs under the fingernails.

Fingernails that long are beyond disgusting.
