SPEYER, Germany (NSP)— While most people view a pedicure as routine maintenance, Johannes Mann of Speyer sees it as a decade-long investment in his legacy.
Since 2003, Mann has meticulously saved every toenail clipping he has ever snipped, amassing a collection that now fills three glass jars. The 10-year project has become a permanent fixture in his household, much to the chagrin of his family.
"It is definitely weird to see him do that," said his daughter, Claudia Mann. "It’s not exactly the kind of collection you want to display on the mantel."
Despite the "ick factor" from relatives, Johannes remains undeterred. He views his jars as a marathon of patience rather than a biological oddity. Based on his current rate of growth, Mann estimates that by 2023, he will have enough material to secure a spot in the Guinness World Records.
