“After nearly 30 years growing what she referred to as ‘her babies,’ Ayanna’s nails were finally clipped by certified dermatologist Dr. Allison Readinger in a 45-minute procedure in Fort Worth, Texas, on March 26,” officials said in a news release.

The nails break a Guinness World Record for the longest fingernails on a pair of hands, measuring in at 733.55 cm (24 feet and 7 inches).

The museum said Williams not only still held the title, but actually broke her own record set in 2017.

This is not the only strange thing visitors to Ripley’s will find. The museum has 16 unique galleries packed with the world’s most remarkable collections of natural, scientific, and artistic oddities.
