On one of our Kid Scoop pages earlier in the year, we reported on the man with the longest fingernails in the world — according to the Guinness Book of World Records.
Now we can report that finally his nails have been cut off.
Shridhar Chillal hadn’t cut his nails for 66 years. He started growing them when he was 14 years old. Now at 82 years old, at a special ceremony at Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Museum in New York, they were cut off very carefully using a power tool.
The last time the nails were measured, they had a combined total of 29ft 10.1 inches.
