World Record Holders

I'm not exactly sure how we got on this topic at work today, but we were talking about world record holders. Not in sporting events, but from the Guiness Book of Records. Did you know that one man had the hiccups for 68 years??? From 1922 to 1990. That's crazy shoi!

I remember when I was younger, Doc and I were totally obsessed with this stuff. That's cuz we were 9 and when you're 9, you like freaky, nasty stuff. Look at the picture of this woman with the longest nails. GROSS (although, she wasn't the record holder when I was young. It was a man and his nails were in spirals. Do you remember that, Doc?
Anyway, in the article about the woman, it boasts that she shared the centre spread in the newest book. But look at the company she shared the pages with, 'the proud purveyors of the world's stretchiest skin, narrowest waist and longest ear hair alongside a woman who can pop her eyeballs .43 inches out of their socket.' Great company indeed. :)
My only question - how does she use the bathroom? Wait, I don't wanna know.

Hey Luky,
If Doc doesn't remember, I remember clearer...so clearly it's scarred me. Those nasty curly nails...eww! I was so shocked nails can curl. At least this girl didn't inherit the "curl". What a tangle mess the guy had! Remember how he took care of his nails? He slept with a bag covering his nails. I bet he was so pampered by his wife, he just couldn't do anything with those nails.
