Shridhar Chillal is the man with the longest fingernails in the world, Guinness Book of Records has announced. The 78 year-old hasn’t cut his fingernails since 1952. The combined length of the nails is 909.6cm. One of his thumbnails alone is two metres long.
Keeping them really brought him a lot of troubles. “When I was to get married, no one was ready to marry me, I saw nearly 10 to 12 girls. If the girl agreed to marry, her parents would say I would strangle their daughter’s neck and refuse. If the parents agreed, the girl would say she would not marry such a dirty person. Our family members opposed, then teachers were opposed but I decided from that point on that I would never cut my nails again,” he said.
He continued, “Initially, difficulties appeared everywhere in my daily life. My family really didn’t like it, no one would wash my clothes and I had to wash them by hand. Finding a job was also difficult, as no one was ready to employ me..I can tell everyone now with pride about my record. When I am on my travels, people will recognise me as a Guinness World Records title holder.”
English club, Chelsea have once again reiterated their support for under-fire manager Jose Mourinho despite his poor start. Mourinho has come in for much criticism of late with his side sitting 16th in the Premier League table, having recorded just two victories from eight games so far this term.
Saturday’s 3-1 defeat to Southampton was the latest disappointing result, with the Portuguese saying in the aftermath that he would resign if he lost his players’ trust.
However, Chelsea released a statement on Monday saying that they believe Mourinho is the right man to turn their fortunes around.
“The club wants to make it clear that Jose continues to have our full support,”
“As Jose has said himself, results have not been good enough and the team’s performances must improve. “However, we believe that we have the right manager to turn this season around and that he has the squad with which to do it.” The statement read.

Imagine being jailed for 2 decades for a crime that never took
place? Such was the case of Mpagi Edward Edmary, a Ugandan taxi driver. Edward was
sentenced to death in 1982 for the murder of his neighbor who was still alive. He
was involved in land dispute between some families in his village and to deal
with him, they paid people to witness against him in the court. These people
lied that they saw him kill the man and dispose the body. He was on death row
for 20 years and was later released when they found out that the dead man was
hiding in another part of the country.
//
He narrated his experience in Kampala’s Luzira prison “In
Uganda, conditions for death row prisoners are cruel, degrading, and inhumane.
We were always denied medicines. There were lice, flies, and other vermin in
the prison, and this resulted in many illnesses – and many prisoners died from
these illnesses.
In 1984 my brother developed malaria and stomach complications
because of inadequate food and skin conditions. I pleaded with the prison
authorities to give my brother medication and treatment.
//
However, they told me that we were brought to death row to face
death, that it was a waste of taxpayer’s money to treat him. My brother died in
1985. This really scared me.
Life is terrible on death row in Uganda, Africa. No one was ever
given any notice that they would be executed. Each time we were taken by
complete surprise. We lived in complete fear of any unusual activity from the
wardens.
During my stay in prison there were five rounds of executions.
The last one was in 1999 in which the state executed 28 prisoners.
The coffins for the prisoners to be executed were made in the
prison. During the three days before executions, we could all hear the making
of the coffins. The black hoods and clothes for prisoners to be executed were
made by other prisoners. We knew how many people were to be executed by
counting the number of hoods being made.”
Two kids, Adrian and
Brooke Franklin who were ring bearer and flower girl at a wedding in 1998 have
become husband and wife. Their wedding was held on September 19, 2015. The girl
confessed to have nursed a crush on him from the start ( so kids know about crushes)
//
Brooke told ABC News, “I had a
crush on him from the start. But he absolutely could not stand me. He said ‘I
got on his nerves.’ I’d tried to play with him at school and at church and he
just didn’t want much to do with me at all”
Everything changed in high
school and the pair hit it off.
Adrian said “We would draw with our finger on each
other’s backs and guess what the other person was writing. “I wrote ‘Will you be my
girlfriend’ and she guessed it, but didn’t answer me. I said ‘Well Brooke, are
you going to say anything?’ and she said ‘Well, you didn’t write a question
mark.’”
//
“Before our wedding day I had a sign made
that said ‘Will you marry me’ but I cut the question mark out. I asked her to
marry me and I said, ‘Here’s your question mark”
