Lee Redmond and her record finger nails

Breaking a nail shouldn't break your heart, but in Lee Redmond's case it came close.

Redmond, of Salt Lake City, held the world record for long fingernails. Earlier this week she was in a car accident, and all her nails were broken.

We assume she wasn't driving.

Ms Redmond, whose injuries were reported as serious but not life-threatening, says she hasn't cut her nails since 1979. According to the Guinness Book of World Records website, her nails measured a total of 8.65m in 2008, with the longest nail on her right thumb at 90cm.

We wish Ms Redmond a full and speedy recovery. When she is better, we'd like to ask the following questions:

How do you blow your nose?
What happens when you get an itch on the palm of your hand?
How do you, y'know, finish up in the bathroom?
Do you floss?
What is your typing speed?
Are people, in general, happy to sit next to you on aeroplanes?
Do you tend to avoid recipes which say 'slice onions finely'?
When you put on those nice jeans, who did the zip up for you?

You'd think she would be banned from planes. Those nails are a lethal weapon.

I've got another one -

How does she put on and fasten her bra??

Janet, good question. As a normal bloke, I can attest that it's almost impossible to unfasten a bra, even with trimmed, if trembling, finger nails.

Can I just say eeeuw with a side of yuck! why would anyone want to do this and who would want to be around her?

She has obviously had a full time servant as there is no way you could wash dishes, make beds etc with those...or scratch her bum or dress herself or put makeup on and brush her hair. What a weirdo!

Hi Cheryl, I wouldn't call her a weirdo. That's too kind. What about wacko?

i think it is just amazing how she has got very long nails and it must have been very guttering for her when they broke in a car incident. what a shame lol

She is in the Guinness Book of World records winner...that's why she did it, duh! Obviously, she thought she could and she was right. Have any of you made your mark on history??? Geesh...so judgemental. By the looks of her in general appearance she keeps her nails very clean. Oh, and so what if she has someone zipping her paints, wiping her butt or fastening her bra. Anyway...ignorance and criticism still reign...on this page at least!

Dear brave commentator who calls himself Anonymous,

If you can't see the need of people to ask questions about how Lee Redmond fastens her bra or wipes her bottom with 90cm finger nails, then you understand neither the journalistic instinct or the desire of the human mind to probe the mysteries of the universe.

Also, you have the sense of humour of a mud puddle.

Thanks for dropping by.
