To Amritdhari Grl:
The reason why I gave everyone the anecdote of the child asking me why i cut my nails was to highlight the fact that the arguement of "We keep our hair because god gave it to us" is not a valid arguement, it's the simple answer but as the fingernail example shows, It's not exactly a fool proof answer. There's got to be more of a reason then simply "Because god gave it to us." Thats why i brought up that anecdote :P Also as a side note, not only am aware of the the 2 guinness record holders for longest fingernails, i saw them on tv when they used to air the televised show and they do lead completely normal lives, the girl made a special point of saying that she can cook, eat and do everything just fine (including going to the bathroom and you no ...).
