Man With The World's Longest Fingernails Cuts Them Off After 66 Years
The man with the world's longest fingernails has finally cut them off.
Shridhar Chillal of Pune, India, started to let the fingernails on his left hand grow when he was 14 "after being told off by a teacher for accidentally breaking his long nail," according to Guinness World Records.
He's now 82. And he holds the record for the longest fingernails on a single hand.
Chillal flew to the U.S. and had his nails cut off using a small circular saw at a ceremony Wednesday in New York. The Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum in Times Square has put them on display.
こんな長い爪でどのように生きてきたのかと思うが、結婚もし、仕事もしていたらしい。
仕事は写真家だそう。
爪をきったもののあまりにも長い間爪を伸ばし続けて不自然な手の形を強いられ続けてきたために手が固くなって開けられなくなっているとのこと。
