BREAKING NEWS – Pune, India – Shridar Chillal has earned a Guinness World Record for not trimming his claws in 62 years. The last time he put scissor to nail was 1952 when Harry Truman was president of the United States. As a result of Chillal’s refusal to trim, each of the fingers on his left hand ends in a swirling mass of keratin that cumulatively measures about 30 feet (9 meters) long.
