Longest finger nails in the world.

SALT LAKE CITY A Salt Lake City woman who was in Guinness World Records for her long fingernails has lost them in a car accident. Lee Redmond suffered serious injuries in the Tuesday crash.
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 — stretching 2 feet, 11 inches, according to the Guinness Web site.
Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Lt. Don Hutson said Redmond was ejected from an SUV, the Deseret News reported Thursday on its Web site. Her injuries were not thought to be life-threatening.

In Jeff’s, words, “it was a beautiful day in Yosemite. Dean had a high line set up there that he measured as somewhere between 99 to 100 feet. He had walked the line leashed a few times when I saw him untying from the tether. I figured he was just taking a break. Instead, he stepped up to the line and started walking it with confidence and determination. It’s hard to imagine what it must feel like walking across a rope with over a thousand feet of air below, but it was obvious to me that Dean was exactly where he was supposed to be…”

Biggest Snake in the World

The world record for the largest snake in captivity is 48.8 feet or nearly 15 metres. This huge animal weights nearly half a ton. This Reticulated python was caught in Indonesia and is said to eat 3-4 dog’s per month, but could swallow something as big as a cow! 15 metres is about the same as 8-9 men lying down in a row! However amazingly this creature still weighs less than the worlds fattest man.
