I Love Stories Like This...

I totally just copied and pasted this from a Utah news website. I wanted to share it because I think this woman is effing hilarious. She is also a little gross. Okay, I am not laughing at the fact that she had serious injuries, but I am laughing a little that her comically long fingernails have been broken off. This article goes well with my recent episode of "Really?!?!?"

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) A Salt Lake City woman who was in the Guinness Book of World Records for her long fingernails has had them broken off in a car accident.

Lee Redmond sustained serious but non-life threatening injuries in the Tuesday accident.

Redmond was the current Guinness record holder, with nails that hadn't been cut since 1979.

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, according to the Guinness Web site.

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