Man Gains World Record For Longest Nails
A Vietnamese man who hasn't cut his fingernails in 30 years earned a Guinness World Record when they were measured at a total 19 feet and 6 inches long. Lưu Công Huyền started growing the nails when he wanted to become a teacher, to look more “majestic.” His dad talked him out of teaching and the nails kept growing. Lưu notes there are plenty of pitfalls to the nails, saying, "If it rains, I have to keep them dry. If they get wet, they will soften and fall right off. In a crowded place, if someone bumps into them, they'll be broken for sure, so I have to protect them. Furthermore, when working I have to be extremely careful. Climbing up and down the scaffolding, every move has to be deliberate. And I mean really careful."

A guy from a classic internet meme continues to use his fame for a good cause.
"Blinking Guy" or "Blinking White Guy" is the clip where a man double-blinks and looks surprised. You've seen it hundreds of times. It's been around for about a decade.
His real name is Drew Scanlon, and he's a producer for Twitch. He just rode 100 miles across the Bay Area this weekend to raise money for M.S. research. He's been part of a charity called Bike M.S. for years and raised over $250,000. You can donate through BlinkingGuy.com.

A cook at a seafood place in Pensacola, Florida, saved a 78-year-old customer's life this month.

Donell called for help, and he's been checking in on him while he recovers. He told a reporter he'd be bringing him some free gumbo soon.
