Guinness World Records for longest fingernails - Lee Redmond & Shridhar Chillal

Lee Redmond (born February 2, 1941) holds the record in the Guinness World Records for longest fingernails on both hands.




She lives in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Enquirer features her every few years and keeps track of the progress of her nails. Redmond started growing her nails in late 1978 - early 1979 and although she had originally planned to have them cut off on November 22, 2006 (as she said on her guest appearances on a couple of talk shows), she chose to keep her nails after all. She has recently made appearances on CBS News as well as the Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum. Her most recent appearance was for a fundraiser for the local Salt Lake City fire department, where it was reported her nails were an average of 34–35 inches in length.

She states that while certain activities such as putting on a heavy coat can be troublesome, she manages her daily life without much difficulty. On the Guinness TV feature, she has been shown driving a car, vacuuming, doing dishes, and giving haircuts to her grandchildren. She adds that her long nails don't even interfere with her care of her husband, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease.

On February 10, 2009, her record-setting nails were broken off when she was ejected from a car in a four-car pile-up in Holladay, Utah. Her injuries were serious, but not life threatening.

Shridhar Chillal from poona, INDIA holds the world record for the longest fingernails ever reached on a single hand.



His nails measure 6.15 meters (20 feet 2.25 inches). Chillal's longest nail is 4.25 feet.

He started growing his nails in 1952. Although Chillal is quite proud of his record breaking nails, he had increasing difficulties with their weight, which already caused his left fingers to become forever disfigured (and more or less useless). Due to nerve damage caused from the nails' immense weight, Chillal is permanently deaf in the left ear (for he grew his fingernails on his left hand).

He finally cut off his nails in late 2000. However, he may make the odd appearance with his finger nails in tow. He appeared with his nails attached in the movie Jackass 2.5.

Extreme Corset Piercing

Are a fans of body modification?? have you heard about Corset piercing before?? Corset Piercing this term also called as ladder piercing.. we think this kind of body piercing are really extreme..

Corset piercings, sometimes called ladder piercings, are a series of surface piercings arranged up the back in two vertical columns. The piercing are located in the spot where the eyelets would be if one was wearing a corset. It is a symmetrical piercing with an equal number of holes on each side. As few as four holes can be used (two on each side) up to as many as the expanse of skin will allow.

Most people who get corset piercings use standard captive bead rings which a length of ribbon is then laced through. Although ribbon or lace are the most popular materials, rope and chain have also been used at times. While this all looks lovely, it is only intended for temporary use. If kept in, surface piercings such as these that use this type of jewelry will most likely not heal. The rings will migrate around the skin as they are rejected by the body, the wounds will become irritated, and nine times out of ten will leave horrible, unsightly scars all along the back. Sometimes hypodermic needles or bondage/slave rings are used instead with the same effect. To avoid this, the jewelry should be removed promptly after the fun has been had (corset piercings are common in fetish performances) and the pictures have been taken (they are also popular subjects for photo shoots.)

A common variation of the standard back corset piercing is front or side "corset-like" body mods. These piercings have also been seen lacing up the sides of legs, thighs, arms, wrists and even a throat!

Man builds record breaking 25ft house of cards

Bryan Berg has a surprising gravity-defying hobby. The 33-year-old American builds huge structures out of playing cards and his latest 25ft skyscraper has broken all records.

The professional 'cardstacker' has created a variety of breathtaking sculptures over the years including models of cathedrals, skyscrapers and stadiums, without using anything to stick them together.

Berg said the combined weight of the cards and his special grid structures helped hold his constructions in place.

Bryan stands amongst his card creations

His latest creation, which took five weeks to build, stands at 25ft 9inches tall and was made from 1,800 decks of playing cards. It was limited only by the height of the building he was working in.

While Berg's remarkable feats may take unyielding concentration and patience he insists his work is highly rewarding.

"I like what I do. This is no kind of torture or boredom for me," he said.

"In my lifetime, cardstacking has gone from a hobby to an obsession to a livelihood."

Berg first started building card houses at the age of eight. He broke the Guinness World Record for the World's Tallest House of Cards in 1992 at the age of seventeen, with a tower fourteen feet, six inches tall.

When asked recently if he could build a taller structure, perhaps even 100ft high, he was undaunted. "You bet!" he said.

Bryan has never suffered a paper cut though he has admitted his hands can shake

How An Orang Utan & Dog Became BEST Friends

Odd couples come in all shapes and sizes but the story of the primate and the canine who are best friends has proved to be a match made in showbiz heaven.

Suryia the orang-utan and Roscoe a Blue Tick hound became friends when they crossed paths at a South Carolina sanctuary for endangered animals. Now they swim together, play together and Suryia even takes the dog for his walks.

Such is their bond that the pair drew the attention of National Geographic magazine and Oprah Winfrey, who will feature them tomorrow in a special show called Amazing Animal Friendship.

The pair first encountered each other two years ago when Roscoe followed staff from The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species (TIGERS) in Myrtle Beach home.

He was immediately spotted by the orang-utan who ambled over to make friends.Dr Bhagavan Antle, founder of TIGERS said: 'Roscoe looked really thin and a little lost so we fed him and took care of him.

'He followed us through the gate and ran over and found Suryia.'As soon as he saw Roscoe, Suryia ran over to him and they started playing.'It was unusual because dogs are usually scared of primates but they took to each other straight away.

'We made a few calls to see if he belonged to anyone and when no-one came forward, Roscoe ended up staying.'Dr Antle said the pair will appear together on Oprah's show and are 'very excited'.'Oprah just made a special about animal relationships and National Geographic have been here to see them too,' he added.

Suryia is an animal ambassador at the sanctuary helping to raise baby primates but likes nothing better than spending quality time with his canine friend on his day off.

'They will spend a few hours each day together rolling around, swimming,' said Dr Antle. 'Suryia will take Roscoe for walks around the enclosure and even feeds him some of his monkey biscuits.

'When they are both feeling a little lazy they will go for a ride on the back of Bubbles, our 27-year-old African elephant.'
