World's Longest FIngernails

We're shuddering just looking at the picture above and simply dying to ask this woman--Chris "The Duchess" Walton--how she engages in regular day-to-day activities necessary for survival with claws like that but we'll refrain. In stead, here are the facts.

As of September 14th, 2011, this woman's nails measure 10 feet, 2 inches on her left hand and 9 feet 7 inches on her right hand. She's been growing them for 18 years. Of course, this still doesn't hold a candle to 68-yeard-old Lee Redmond who started growing her nails in 1979 and grew them to a whopping 28 feet, 4.5 inch length. She 'tragically' lost her curling claws in a car accident in 2008 however.
